About

Pascal Owusu‐Agyemang is a leading voice in the perioperative care of cancer patients, with a research focus that bridges anaesthetic techniques and acute pain management in oncology. His work addresses the unique physiological and pharmacological challenges posed by cancer surgeries, where standard pain protocols often fall short. In his highly cited 2019 paper, "Postoperative acute pain challenges in patients with cancer" (36 citations), he systematically outlines the barriers to effective pain control—from opioid tolerance to tumor-specific pain pathways—providing a framework for tailored analgesic strategies. Earlier, his 2013 study, "Anaesthetic techniques for unique cancer surgery procedures" (22 citations), catalogued innovative approaches for complex resections, highlighting how anaesthetic choices can influence surgical outcomes and recovery. Together, these contributions have shaped clinical guidelines for managing pain in vulnerable oncology populations, earning him recognition as a specialist in cancer anaesthesiology. His work not only advances surgical safety but also underscores the critical role of anaesthesia in improving quality of life for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
