Frequently Asked Questions
Pain may be caused by a tumor pressing on nerves, bones, or organs. Surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, diagnostic procedures, and treatment-related nerve damage may also cause pain.
Not necessarily. Pain may result from treatment, surgery, inflammation, nerve damage, or another condition. New or changing pain should always be reported to the treating medical team.
Yes. Pain management can be provided before, during, or after cancer treatment and coordinated with the patient’s oncologist and other specialists.
A targeted nerve block may reduce pain in a specific area by interrupting pain signals. Whether it is appropriate depends on the source and location of the pain.
Pain should be evaluated when it is new, worsening, interfering with sleep or daily activities, or not adequately controlled by the current treatment plan.
