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
- Pain across the entire body
- History of cancer
- Pain worsens or improves when I change my posture
- Pain when pressing down on the abdomen
- Abdominal pain
- Abdominal pain that worsens after meals
- Nausea or vomiting
- Lower left abdomen or tummy pain
Diagnostic Questions for Cancer Pain
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have body-wide pain?
- Have you ever had cancer?
- Does your pain intensity change when you switch postures?
- Does pressing on your stomach cause severe pain?
- Do you have a stomach ache?
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.
