Pain and Palliative Care

Pain and Palliative Care in oncology refers to specialized medical care focused on relieving pain, managing symptoms, and improving the quality of life for patients with cancer. This care is provided throughout the illness, not just at the end of life, and includes both pharmacological (medications) and non-pharmacological (radiation therapy, nerve blocks, psychological support) interventions. Radiation therapy, for example, is often used to shrink tumors and alleviate pain, especially in bone metastases. Palliative care also addresses emotional, social, and spiritual needs, ensuring comprehensive support for both patients and families.

Key Challenges

Pain and palliative care in oncology face major challenges in managing complex pain such as bone and neuropathic pain.
These pain types are often resistant to standard treatments and may require advanced interventions like nerve blocks.
Many patients experience under-treatment due to limited provider knowledge, strict regulations, and fear of drug side effects or addiction.
Emotional and psychological distress, including depression and anxiety, often accompany physical pain.
As cancer progresses, symptoms like fatigue, nausea, and poor appetite become harder to control.
Palliative care is essential to maintain quality of life through symptom relief and holistic support.
Effective care coordination among specialists, patients, and families is vital but often hindered by communication barriers.
