Cancer pain is a complex and challenging condition experienced by individuals battling cancer. It can manifest as acute or chronic pain, affecting various parts of the body depending on the location and progression of the cancer. Patients with cancer pain often experience persistent discomfort, which can impact their quality of life, daily activities, and emotional well-being. Common symptoms include dull aches, sharp pains, and discomfort that may worsen with movement or certain activities. Individuals undergoing cancer treatment or in advanced stages of the disease are at higher risk of experiencing cancer-related pain.
