Abstract
Cancer Pain is quite complex and challenging to manage. Over the years we have made exemplary advancements in treatment of cancer but we are still struggling in providing a comprehensive holistic care to patients with intractable cancer related pain and their appropriate rehabilitation of cancer related impairments. We have made an earnest attempt to combine the tenets of cancer rehabilitation and cancer pain management under the same roof. It’s a unique model to providing comprehensive pain management and rehabilitation services within a self-sustainable fiscally responsible service line in a large community based health system.
