Cancer pain is generally a specific pain depending on location, stage and action. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and also surgery can cause pain that is felt by cancer patients. Symptoms of cancer pain differ for each cancer patient, depending on the sensitivity of the patient’s pain and the type of cancer that is experienced, the stage and extent of the spread of cancer. Cancer pain can be categorized as mild, moderate, and severe, so cancer treatment can vary according to the category of pain that is felt. Cancer pain can be treated and about ninety out of 100 patients who experience cancer pain will feel relieved after using a combination drug. Cancer pain can be reduced by administering drugs such as analgesic and injection and non-drug tablets such as physical therapy, rehabilitation, and relaxation techniques. Treatment with subcutaneous injection (the drug is placed just below the skin using a small needle). Dermal and intramuscular sub (injections placed deeper into the skin or muscle; not recommended for the treatment of long-term cancer pain). Intravenous drugs are placed directly into the vein through a needle left in the vein, allowing the patient to adjust how much medicine they receive. Epidural or intrathecal (the drug is placed directly into the spine using a small tube, this can provide assistance for several hours). Other methods for reducing cancer pain are: anal suppositories & trans skin patches.
