You can talk to our doctors and nursing staff regarding how to take care for patient at home. Consultations on phone and home visit can be done.

We understand that taking care of a person in a family who is not self dependent or near the end of his life, is difficult both physically and emotionally. We do understand that pain relief is of utmost importance for such patients. At times it is important to take help of health care personnel who can help you to tide over the crisis. You can take consultation from pain management & palliative care team to help you to adapt to the need of the patient. They can guide you for further equipments, paramedical staff needed to cope up with the situation.

It is a philosophy of care for the patients comfort rather than the disease management. It can be done at home, hospital or stand alone institution to take care of the patients who are difficult to manage by caregivers at their home and they think they need supportive medical care for the management of symptoms of terminally ill or sick patients. It is supervised by a pain management specialist & palliative care physician along with well trained paramedical staff.

IтАЩm A Health Professional

We are open to doctors who are experienced and are interested in working in Pain management and palliative care field. Paramedical staffs who have a experience and is open to working with us can also contact us.

Awareness amongst the healthcare providers is also poor regarding the pain management & palliative care. Most of the doctors / oncologists / other specialists are not much aware about existence and developments in Pain and symptom relief with the help of modern medicine. In todayтАЩs world pain free journey of cancer both at initial and late stages is possible. Pain management & Palliative care specialists work in alliance with various specialities (E.g. Oncologists, Neurologist) to improve the overall quality of life. We at Advanced-cancer care network are committed to provide Interventional Pain Management and palliative care education to the society and health care professional to increase the reach of palliative services. We have been providing training, doing educational activities and CME for the same and will continue to do the same in future.

Click on тАШcontact usтАЩ and avail one of the unique services of care of patients in advanced stages of cancer with the aim of providing best treatment with best quality of life.

The goal of interventional pain management is not only relief in pain but also to increase work capacity, improve quality of life and reduce oneтАЩs sense of suffering.

Interventional pain management is the branch of medicine involving multiple specialities to offer relief of pain and improvement in the quality of life of those living with cancer pain. Due to the complexities involved in the treatment of cancer pain, pain relief services is recognized as a separate medical super specialty as pain management & palliative care services. Not everyone is able or willing to take pain medication every day, and not everyone can or should have surgery for painful conditions.

Pain relief doesnтАЩt always come in a bottle of pills. Pain can take many forms and relief is not a one-size fits all persons. Interventional pain management explores beyond the boundaries of standard medical treatments (medications and surgery) and describes the many other approaches that are available for pain relief.

Interventional pain management consists of state-of-the-art, minimally-invasive, nonsurgical procedures. These treatments are considered best and safest for cancer pain relief, specially in those patients who are suffering from advanced stage cancer and whose body has become very fragile because of multiple chemo cycles and radiation treatment. In most of the procedures hospital admission is not required and patients can be sent back home same day.
