This book focuses on the features of pelvic pain in the different
cancer diseases, the pain assessment tools, as well as the
pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Pelvic cancer
pain is a common and debilitating symptom, and pain control is a
one among the main therapeutic goals throughout the duration of the
disease. Because pelvic cancer pain due to primitive cancer,
recurrence or metastasis is a complex clinical pathology, no single
technique is often guaranteed to produce a complete pain relief.
Thus, there are many treatment options, but in most cases a correct
approach to pain control should be provided by a multidisciplinary
team under the responsibility of a pain specialist coordinating
several professionals. This book will aid several figures of
practitioners, like anesthesiologists, oncologists or surgeons, in
making the correct decisions in individual patients affected by
cancer pain due to pelvic diseases.
