Description
📕 Interventional Pain Control in Cancer Pain Management (OUP Oxford, 1st ed.)
🧠 Overview
A specialist, clinically grounded guide to interventional procedures for cancer pain, aimed at clinicians managing refractory or complex pain when standard pharmacologic approaches aren’t enough. It focuses heavily on neuraxial techniques (epidural/intrathecal), patient selection, and safe practical delivery in real settings.
⭐ Key Features
-
🧩 Problem-first structure: starts with the clinical landscape and “difficult pain problems,” then builds toward interventions.
-
💉 Deep coverage of neuraxial infusions (epidural + intrathecal): anatomy, commonly used drugs, pharmacokinetics, side effects, and evidence base.
-
🧠 Sections on mechanisms of cancer pain to support better technique selection.
-
👩⚕️ Practical guidance on patient selection, equipment, technique steps, and complications.
-
🧑⚕️ Includes practical nursing management of epidural/intrathecal infusions (useful for service delivery).
✅ Key Benefits
-
🚨 Helps teams manage refractory cancer pain with clearer pathways for when to escalate to interventional options.
-
🛡️ Strong emphasis on safety, complications, and appropriate selection, which is the core risk point in cancer pain interventions.
-
🤝 Useful for building or standardizing a cancer pain intervention service (shared language across clinicians + nurses).
👥 Ideal For
-
🎯 Pain physicians / pain teams, palliative care clinicians
-
🏥 Anesthesiologists involved in advanced pain / neuraxial infusions
-
👩⚕️ Oncology & palliative care services coordinating complex analgesia
-
👩⚕️ Nursing staff supporting neuraxial infusion pathways

🎯 Recommendation
Choose this book if your audience needs a procedure-focused, practical reference for advanced cancer pain control (especially neuraxial infusion strategies + operational delivery). If your buyers are mainly general clinicians, a broader “cancer pain overview” text may convert better—this one is more specialist/interventional.
