- 8. Cancer Pain Nociceptive Somatic: intermittent toconstant sharp, knife-like, localized e.g. soft tissue infiltration
- 10. Cancer Pain Nociceptive Visceral: constant/intermittent crampy/squeezing poorlylocalized, referred e.g. intra-abdominal mets
- 12. Cancer Pain Nociceptive Bony: constant,dull ache localized, may have neuropathic features e.g. vertebral metastasis pathologic fractures
- 14. Cancer Pain Neuropathic Destruction/infiltration ofnerves a) dysesthetic: burning/tingling constant, radiates e.g. post-herpetic neuralgia
- 15. Cancer Pain Neuropathic Destruction/infiltration ofnerves b) neuralgic: shooting/stabbing shock-like/lancinating paroxysmal e.g. trigeminal neuralgia

- 25. Bone Pain Radiation treatment 1.Single treatment (800 cGy) 2. Multiple fraction (200 cGy x 3-5) 3. Effective immediately 4. Maximal effect 4 - 6 weeks 5. 60-80% patients get relief

- 38. Key Points • Current,accurate information • Use available resources • Involve family & caregivers • Know patient knowledge base • Address patient priorities first • Small doses of useful info (e.g., S/E) • Individualize to patient (social, education level)
- 39. Conclusion Cancer paincan be from the cancer itself, or from cancer-related treatments Can be somatic, visceral, or neuropathic Negative effects of cancer-related pain can effect QOL, mortality Ask the patient about pain and REASSESS!
- 40. Choose non-opioid/ adjuvants carefully paying close attention to side effect profile Use WHO ladder guidelines when titrating pain medications Use long-acting opioids for chronic cancer pain Recognize “4th step” in WHO ladder and utilize your multidisciplinary resources

Editor's Notes
- #10 patient with H&N cancer – large R sided mass – ex. Somatic pain
- #12 Colorectal CA with liver met – left lobe of liver – visceral pain
- #14 Vertebral met – localized somatic pain to vertebrae, visceral pain in abdomen – and neuropathic pain from nerve root involvement – ex – many cancer patients will have several sources and can have a combination of how they’re experiencing pain
- #17 patients can have chemo-related neuropathies – cisplatin, taxol, the vinca alkaloid are well known players – patients usually have a symmetrical polyneuropathy – localized in hands and feet SURGICAL neuropathies – have distinct pain syndromes – phantom limb pain s/p amputation Post-mastectomy syndrome – neuropathic pain in posterior arm, axilla and anterior chest wall – due to the interrupatiention of the intercostal brachial nerve (cutaneous sensory branch of T1-2) – little bit of a misnomer – you see this syndrome in women who have undergone a radical mastectomy, lumpectomy, even just an axillary node dissection ; 5% of women who undergo any of those procedures will have this syndrome (ex. Lady with dcis – b mastectomy- did fine (felt a lump in her axilla – lymph node dissection (fortunately benign) and since then has had debilitating neuropathic pain) Same with post-thoracotomy – neuropathic pain along the distribution of an intercostal nerve following injury or surgery – ex. Lung ca patients s/p lobectomy
- #18 Lastly – what type of neuropathic pain does this picture demonstrate?? – CORD compression – which we’ll talk about later
- #22 Constipation – easier to prevent than treat; all patients on opioids need a bowel regimen, dry mouth, nausea, sedation – usually go away in a few days; always clarify when a patient says they have an allergy to morphine More uncommon adverse effects can combat many side effects with medication, or with opioid rotation The big fear – respiratory depression – patients will fall asleep/somnolent before their resp drive is affected When we see it – patients continuing to get their opioids after they’ve become somnolent – RNs, family pushing pca, combining benzos and opiates; if vitals are stable and patient protecting airway – can just observe – if showing signs of resp depression – then give narcan
- #28 It increases the risk of developing pepatientic ulcers
