Cancer Pain Procedural Techniques

Overview

Cancer Pain Procedural Techniques is a practical and comprehensive guide dedicated to interventional cancer pain management. Written by leading specialists from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, this book provides evidence-based approaches to regional anesthesia, neuromodulation, interventional pain procedures, and rehabilitation strategies specifically designed for oncology patients.

Unlike traditional interventional pain management references, this book focuses exclusively on the unique challenges of cancer-related pain, offering detailed guidance on selecting, performing, and safely applying advanced pain procedures in patients with cancer.
