More than 20 lakh people die yearly from cancer (00:08). During the terminal stage, they suffer from immense pain. However, pain specialists have the means to make this easy to bear or even eliminate pain. Dr Pavan Kumar Bichal, a pain specialist at Apollo Jubilee Hills in Hyderabad, has some ways to ensure that cancer and its many implications do not become a hurdle when an individual tries to live a full life.

Sometimes not just cancer, but the pain too, causes suffering to the patient (00:40). Dr Pavan Kumar states that the cause of the pain is usually the cancer itself (00:53) - a tumour that compresses the surrounding structure to cause pain. In addition, treating the malignancy can also cause immense pain (00:58). For example, radiotherapy causes radiation fibrosis, and medication such as chemotherapy can also cause neuropathic cancer pain.

Furthermore, Cancer surgery too can cause post-surgical cancer pain (01:11). Another cause for cancer pain is a knot related to cancer, such as osteoarthritis or diabetic neuropathy (01:15). However, all of these issues are completely treatable and allow an individual to go pain-free.
To minimize cancer pain, at 01:30, Dr Pavan Kumar suggests medication that can eliminate the pain entirely or, at the least, minimize cancer pain. Alternatively, pain specialists use neurolytic blocks or melodic blocks, which relieve cancer for at least six months and, in terminal cases, for as long as the patient lives (01:40). However, at 01:55, he mentions these methods are only to be enforced by a pain specialist.

Dr Pavan Kumar B has been associated with Apollo 24/7 for several years. He is available for both online and in-person consultations. As one of the best pain in Hyderabad, he administers some of the best treatments to minimize cancer pain.
