Taking away pain of fighting cancer

GUWAHATI: The number of people suffering from cancer in the northeast is increasing by the day and every year hundreds of patients go to other states for advanced treatment.

Though the cancer treatment facilities in the state have improved to a great extent, cancer cure goes beyond just medical treatment to other problems as well, including decreasing the extent of physical pain faced by patients undergoing the treatment.

Keeping this need of cancer patients in view, a group of experts from Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, are working towards creating awareness on pain management.
