The incidence of cancer has multiplied manifold in the last few decades. Modern medicine is able to provide treatment for various types of cancer; still it is one of
the biggest causes of untimely death. Cancer not only affects the individual, it impacts the whole family as the
treatment is prolonged, outcome is uncertain, medicines are expensive and the
cancer centers are overburdened. The burden is not only financial, fear of cancer among close family members, due
to genetic etiology is a real issue. Psycho social and spiritual aspects of a life limiting illness are beyond the capability of cancer specialists, due to immense work load. 

Not only this, hope for recovery and longevity of life is always there as breakthrough research are full of promises. While we pray for a permanent cure for cancer and other deadly diseases, we continue to assist cancer patients who have reached beyond medical aid. It is advisable to seek palliative care early in the disease process, as it helps one to stay positive throughout the treatment phase and take prompt decision which no doubt, affects the path of recovery. Cancer pain relief, associated symptoms control, overcoming expected hurdles,
meaningful existence, as long as can be sustained, all these can be achieved by palliative approach.
Cancer pain relief is close to our heart at Aadarsh Pain Clinic Palliative Care Centre.
