Cancer Pain Treatment in Indore

Cancer pain refers to discomfort or distress experienced by individuals diagnosed with cancer. It can arise from various sources, including the cancer itself, treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or secondary complications.

Causes & Symptoms

The causes of cancer pain can vary depending on factors such as the type, stage, and location of the cancer. Some common causes include:

• Tumor growth: Cancerous tumors can exert pressure on surrounding tissues, organs, or nerves, leading to pain.
• Nerve compression: Tumors may compress or invade nearby nerves, resulting in neuropathic pain or radicular pain.
• Inflammation: Inflammatory processes associated with cancer can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort.
• Treatment side effects: Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, or other cancer treatments can cause pain as a side effect.
• Secondary complications: Cancer-related complications such as bone metastases, spinal cord compression, or lymphedema can contribute to pain.

Symptoms of cancer pain may include:

• Persistent or intermittent pain at the site of the tumor or metastases.
• Neuropathic pain, characterized by burning, tingling, or shooting sensations.
• Bone pain, typically described as deep, aching, or throbbing.
• Phantom limb pain, occurring after amputation of a limb due to cancer.
• Breakthrough pain, sudden and intense episodes of pain that occur despite baseline pain management.
