Pain Management in Cancer Patient’s, a veterinary pain specialist’ perspective: Part 2

25 Oct 2025
Veterinary Insights Theatre
Oncology , Pain Management

Analgesic medications are commonly required for patient treatment, but the selection of the correct medication can be challenging given the array of oncological conditions, associated pain types, and balancing quality of life at home with medication side effects. In this section we will delve through analgesic medications and tips to treat both acute and chronic pain states in our oncological patients.

  • Gain a better understanding of medications that provide analgesia in a chronic pain setting with a focus on cancer patients
  • Some drugs that will be discussed include dexmedetomidine, NSAIDs, NMDA receptor antagonists, gabapentinoids and opioids.
  • Locoregional techniques will briefly be discussed.
