| Abstract | Recent advances in medical science have prolonged the life expectancy for many cancer patients. However, many studies demonstrate that cancer pain is a symptom for two thirds of patients in the advanced stages of the disease and nearly universal in the last 48 hours of life. Whereas most cancer patients can be effectively treated with conventional analgesics, 10% to 15% of patients require additional, and sometimes invasive, therapy. The most commonly used procedures for the treatment of this refractory cancer pain is the topic of review in this paper. Neurolytic blocks, such as celiac plexus and ganglion of impar block, are still used in the management of pain related to abdominal and pelvic cancers. Nondestructive interventional techniques include the use of epidural and intrathecal spinal analgesics. The efficacy, recommended medications, and adverse effect profile of these therapies are reviewed. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
