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.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
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.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
