The effective management of pain from cancer is a top priority for
patients, carers and healthcare professionals, and has been the
subject of extensive research. Approximately two-thirds of cancer
patients will experience severe pain, and many of them will have
more than one pain. However, because of the increasing number of
available treatments for cancer, patients are surviving for longer
periods, and are developing complex consequences of their cancer
and its treatment, such as central and peripheral neuropathic pain
syndromes. Approximately 8 - 10% of cancer pain remains unrelieved
by conventional means.
Interventional cancer pain management implies the use of invasive
techniques, such as neuraxial (epidural, intrathecal and
intracerebroventricular) drug administration, brachial and lumbar
plexus blocks, autonomic blockade, neurolytic blocks and cordotomy.
It can also include TENS, acupuncture and complementary therapies.
This book describes specifically the difficult pain problems that
are now faced in palliative care and highlights the need for
greater collaboration between the disciplines of pain medicine and
palliative care. It refers to the psychological and spiritual needs
of patients, and provides patient experience data on specialist
techniques. The book is an invaluable resource for all healthcare
professionals working in palliative care, pain management, and
primary care to inform them about the range of interventional
techniques available, with evidence of efficacy, side effects and
management advice.
