Researchers from the University of California have published a review on the pathophysiology and management of chest wall pain syndromes that can occur after local therapies for lung cancer. The review discusses the various causes of chest wall pain and provides evidence-based management strategies, including non-opioid oral analgesics, pharmacologic treatments, physical medicine techniques, and procedural interventions. The researchers emphasize that most clinical providers can effectively manage treatment-related chest wall pain, but in cases where initial medical management fails, referral to a pain specialist may be considered. The study provides valuable information for patients and healthcare professionals dealing with chest wall pain after lung cancer treatment. [Extracted from the article] |
