When pain from cancer or its treatment becomes overwhelming, advanced therapies can provide relief and restore quality of life.
Cancer pain can be caused by the disease itself, such as tumors pressing on nerves, bones, or organs, or by treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. For many patients, standard medications are not enough, and stronger, more targeted options are required to manage the pain effectively.
While opioids and strong painkillers are commonly prescribed, many patients still experience uncontrolled pain, or they struggle with medication side effects. For advanced or resistant pain, specialized interventional treatments can provide long-term relief and reduce reliance on systemic drugs.
