“…Several RCTs have demonstrated variable benefits with topical agents in various acute and chronic pain syndromes in cancer survivors. These include doxepin mouthwash for acute radiation-induced mucositis [127], high-dose capsaicin 8% patch [128] or amitriptyline cream for CIPN neuropathy [129,130] and capsaicin cream [131] or lignocaine transdermal patches for post-surgical pain [132][133][134]. However, heterogeneity of the studies warrants clinical discretion when making treatment decisions in individual patients.…”

Improvements in screening, diagnosis and treatment of cancer has seen cancer mortality substantially diminish in the past three decades. It is estimated there are almost 20 million cancer survivors in the USA alone, but some 40% live with chronic pain after completing treatment. While a broad definition of survivorship that includes all people living with, through and beyond a cancer diagnosis-including those with active cancer-is often used, this narrative review primarily focuses on the management of pain in people who are disease-free after completing primary cancer treatment as adults. Chronic pain in this population needs a different approach to that used for people with a limited prognosis. After describing the common chronic pain syndromes caused by cancer treatment, and the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved, the pharmacologic management of entities such as post-surgical pain, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal syndrome and checkpoint inhibitor-related pain are described. The challenges associated with opioid prescribing in this population are given special attention. Expert guidelines on pain management in cancer survivors now recommend a combination of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic modalities, and these are also briefly covered.

“…Use of iontophoresis for electrically encouraged particle transport across natural films has been fruitful in management of neurological pain conditions. Such pain conditions incorporate postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, constant regional pain disorders and phantom pain (10,11) . The fundamental agents utilized are the vinca alkaloids involving vincristine and vinblastine.…”

Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to provide a practical framework for the diagnosis and treatment of post-breast surgery pain syndrome. Recent Findings There has been increasing evidence that nerve blocks, regional anesthetic blocks, and surgeries including fat grafting and targeted muscle reinnervation may be effective in treating post-breast surgery pain syndrome. Summary Post-breast surgery pain syndrome is identified as clinically affecting the upper extremity and chest wall on the post-surgical side. There are several treatment options including topicals, oral medications, therapeutic interventions, and surgeries which may be discussed and explored with affected patients.
