Cancer Pain

Pain associated with cancer or its treatment can vary widely in intensity and cause. It may result from the tumour itself, surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

Cancer-related pain can be persistent or intermittent. Some patients experience bone pain caused by tumour involvement. Others may develop nerve-related pain due to chemotherapy or nerve compression. Pain may also occur at surgical sites or in areas affected by radiation treatment.

These symptoms can interfere with sleep, mobility, appetite, and daily functioning. Pain may change over time depending on disease progression, response to treatment, or recovery after therapy.
