Management of Dentofacial Trauma in a Child with Phocomelia of Upper Limbs: A Rare Case

Pain can occur in both early and advanced stages of prostate cancer, with an incidence of 30-50%. [3] The pain can be caused directly by the cancer or related to the cancer treatment. [4] The four main goals of pain management and palliative care are: prolonging survival, optimizing comfort, optimizing function and relieving pain.[5] Currently, pain in prostate cancer is managed with surgery, medication, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. For progressive tumors involving the sacral plexus, an intra-thecal morphine with local anaesthetic agents will be beneficial to patients.[6] If the tumor has infiltrated the lumbar plexus, local anaesthetic agents through a psoas sheet catheter will be appropriate. A superior hypogastric block may also help reduce the pain in prostate cancer. However, all these procedures involve risks.
