For patients with cancer pain, our goal is to make their lives more comfortable and productive. We are experienced in treating patients with many types of cancer including bone, bowel, breast, lung, ovarian, prostate, and uterine. In addition, we treat patients with other types of cancer pain, including post-surgical pain.
Depending on the diagnosis, we design individual treatment programs for cancer patients, mostly on an outpatient basis with a short recuperation period. Programs may include:
· Freezing or surgical procedures
· Implanted electrical stimulators
· Implanted medication pumps
· Nerve blocks
· Occupational therapy
· Pain relief medications
· Patient and family support groups
· Physical therapy
· Psychological evaluation and therapy
