Cancer Pain

The greatest anxiety of patiets diagosed with cancer is "Will I have pain?"  At Liv Hospital Pain Clinic, which aims to have the patients evaluated and monitored by a pain specialist at the diagnosis stage, patients can easily access a pain specialist when they experience pain.

There may be sudden pains

Cancer pains may be continuous or intermittent, or in sudden flare-ups (suddenly increasing pain - runaway pain). Runaway pain experienced by approximately 2/3 of cancer patients especially arises with swallowing, coughing, defecation-micturation and movement; it is intense, short-lived and hard to control.
 

Pain may disrupt quality of life

The probability of pain in cancer patients is 38 in the early stages, but this ratio may reach 85% as the disease progresses, leading to a decrease in quality of life. This pain complaint is directly associated with the invasion and compression of the tumor, while 17% of the pain is associated with the treatment of the tumor, 9% with the tumor disease, and 9% with non-tumor (migraine, diabetes) causes. Tumor patients may have both somatic and neuropathic pain.
 

Successful pain treatment

At Liv Hospital Pain Clinic, additional injection treatments are performed in addition to the basal medical treatment of the patient. At our clinic, the patient-oncology-algology-patient relative act in cooperation for a successful pain treatment for the cancer patient.
