Chronic Cancer Pain
It is not uncommon for cancer patients to suffer from neuropathic pain caused by the cancer directly or by the treatments utilized to treat it. It is estimated that up to 90% of chemotherapy patients will develop some symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy at some stage in their cancer treatment.
As cancer treatments improve the patients are living longer, and their outcomes are better. However, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and neuropathy related to chronic cancer pain may not improve after treatment is completed.
Cancer related neuropathy can cause pain, tingling, burning and numbing sensations as well as weaknesses and sometimes even disorientation. These symptoms can be a real hurdle to the overall goal of a cancer patient reclaiming their normal life, so should be taken seriously and treated properly.
