Cancer Pain
Who to See
The following health professionals can help treat cancer pain:
- Family doctor
- Surgeon
- Medical oncologist
- Radiation oncologist
- Anesthesiologist
- Nurse practitioner
- Neurologist
Your pain may be managed by a team that may include doctors (including pain or hospice palliative care specialists), nurses, psychologists, social workers, and pharmacists. Be sure that all the members of your health care team know about any changes in your pain control diary. You may wish to use one person, such as your medical oncologist, as a team leader who will make sure that all team members share information.
