1. Cancer painPain in cancer may be caused by the tumor itself or by medical interventions in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Transitory cancer pain is usually caused by treatment, and long-term pain may be caused by either treatment or the disease itself. Tumors can cause pain by irritating or damaging nerves, by activating specialised pain sensitive nerve fibers, or by releasing chemicals that make nociceptors responsive to normally non-painful stimuli.
