| Summary: | Cancer pain occurs in oncologic patients due to tissue damage, inflammation, nerve compression or the effects of treatment. Pain can significantly reduce the quality of life, but modern medicine offers effective approaches to its control. If pain relief is achieved only with high doses of opioids, the method of choice is interventional pain management procedures such as tunneled epidural catheters, fully implanted systems for intrathecal or epidural administration. Implantable port systems are an effective tool in the treatment of chronic cancer pain and provide convenient and long-term access to therapy. They allow the delivery of analgesics and other drugs directly to the spinal cord, minimizing side effects and improving the quality of life of patients. Implantable port systems significantly improve the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases or the need for regular treatment. |
