Cancer Pain is the most distressing type of pain. It is important to provide good pain relief during all stages of cancer treatment; so that the patient is comfortable. Treatment includes medication and various nerve block techniques.
Most cancer pain is caused by the tumour pressing on bones, nerves or other organs in the body.Cancer pain may also be caused due to your cancer treatment. For example, some chemotherapy drugs can cause numbness and tingling in your hands and feet. Or they might cause a burning sensation at the spot where you have the injection. Radiotherapy can cause skin redness and irritation.
