Bone cancer pain

Cancer induced bone pain.

Challenges in cancer pain management--bone pain.

Whilst not strictly a neuropathic injury, cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) is a unique state with features of neuropathy and inflammation. Recent work has demonstrated that osteoclasts damage peripheral nerves (peptidergic C fibres and SNS) within trabeculated bone leading to deafferentation. In addition, glia cell activation and neuronal hyperexcitability within the dorsal horn, are all similar...

Biology of bone cancer pain.

Bone cancer pain is a devastating manifestation of metastatic cancer. Unfortunately, current therapies can be ineffective, and when they are effective, the duration of the patient's survival typically exceeds the duration of pain relief. New, mechanistically based therapies are desperately needed. Study of experimental animal models has provided insight into the mechanisms that drive bone cance...

Advances in cancer pain from bone metastasis

With the technological advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, the survival rates for patients with cancer are prolonged. The issue of figuring out how to improve the life quality of patients with cancer has become increasingly prominent. Pain, especially bone pain, is the most common symptom in malignancy patients, which seriously affects the life quality of patients with cancer. The resea...

Acidic microenvironment and bone pain in cancer-colonized bone.

Solid cancers and hematologic cancers frequently colonize bone and induce skeletal-related complications. Bone pain is one of the most common complications associated with cancer colonization in bone and a major cause of increased morbidity and diminished quality of life, leading to poor survival in cancer patients. Although the mechanisms responsible for cancer-associated bone pain (CABP) are ...
