What is Cancer Pain?
Cancer pain occurs when cancer grows into or invades nearby bone and tissue. As the cancer expands, it can press on surrounding nerves, bones, and organs, causing pain. The tumor can also release chemicals that cause pain.
Typical Symptoms of Cancer Pain
- Whole body pain
- History of cancer
- Stomach pain that worsens when the stomach is pressed
- Pain worsens or improves when I change my posture
- Stomach or abdominal pain
- Pain in the lower right abdomen
- History of surgery in the abdomen
- Nausea or vomiting
Diagnostic Questions for Cancer Pain
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have pain all over your body?
- Have you ever had cancer?
- Does your stomach pain get worse when you press on it?
- Does your pain intensity change when you switch postures?
- Do you have any stomach or abdominal pain?
Treatment of Cancer Pain
There are many treatments for cancer pain and the patient should discuss their pain on a regular basis with their medical oncologist, palliative care doctor, or pain specialist. Treatments can range from over-the-counter pain relievers, to prescription pain relievers, to nerve pain drugs, to opioid-based prescription painkillers. Radiation can often relieve bone and nerve pain. Surgery is sometimes used. Sometimes devices can be placed in the spinal cord and elsewhere that directly change the way pain is felt. There are many modern options for cancer pain treatment.
