Multiple books on techniques of interventional pain management are available, however, applications to cancer pain management are lacking. The cancer pain specialists at Memorial Sloan Kettering have spent the last decade perfecting techniques in regional anesthesia, pain medicine, neuromodulation, and rehabilitation and applying what they have learned to alleviating pain in the oncologic population. Cancer Pain Procedural Techniques imparts to readers a clear understanding of the techniques currently available to manage cancer pain; focusing not only on indications specific to the cancer patient, but providing a guide to appropriately apply these techniques, and apply them safely, in the oncologic patient.

The text surveys important procedures necessary for a pain practitioner to treat an oncologic patient. Specific guidelines for indications and procedure descriptions along with anatomical and image-guided descriptions are included in each chapter. Chapters address both acute cancer related pain syndromes and treatment related pain syndromes. New interventional options such as percutaneous cordotomy and radiofrequency ablation of vertebral bodies are also detailed. This book functions as a practical aid and should appeal to established pain practitioners as well as pain practitioners in training.
