Cancer Pain Treatment
Dr. Md. Mosharaf Hossain is also dedicated to advancing interventional pain management for patients living with cancer-related pain. Combining evidence-based techniques with compassionate care, he focuses on minimally invasive procedures—such as nerve blocks, neurolysis, and targeted drug delivery—to provide meaningful relief when conventional therapies are insufficient. His goal is to enhance patient comfort, preserve function, and improve overall quality of life throughout the cancer journey.
COELIAC PLEXUS NEUROLYSIS
A coeliac plexus block is a precise, minimally invasive pain management technique aimed at interrupting pain signals originating from the upper abdominal organs. It is especially beneficial for patients suffering from pancreatic, liver, or stomach cancers, as well as chronic pancreatitis. Performed under imaging guidance for optimal accuracy, this intervention provides significant visceral pain relief, reduces opioid dependence, and enhances overall quality of life for those with severe, treatment-resistant abdominal pain.
SPLANCHNIC NERVE RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION (RFA)
Splanchnic nerve RFA is a minimally invasive procedure designed to manage severe upper abdominal pain, particularly in patients with pancreatic or other upper gastrointestinal cancers. Using radiofrequency energy, the procedure selectively disrupts the splanchnic nerves responsible for transmitting visceral pain signals. By precisely targeting these pathways under imaging guidance, it offers long-lasting pain relief, reduced opioid use, and improved quality of life for patients with persistent cancer-related abdominal pain.
SUPERIOR HYPOGASTRIC PLEXUS BLOCK
A superior hypogastric plexus block is a targeted intervention used to relieve pelvic and lower abdominal pain, particularly in patients with gynecologic, urologic, or colorectal cancers, as well as certain chronic pelvic pain conditions. Guided by imaging for accuracy, medication is delivered to the nerve plexus that carries pain signals from the pelvis, helping significantly reduce discomfort, lower opioid dependence, and improve functional outcomes and quality of life.
GANGLION IMPAR BLOCK
A ganglion impar block is a precise, minimally invasive procedure used to manage chronic perineal, coccygeal, or pelvic pain, often arising from cancer, trauma, or post-surgical conditions. By targeting the ganglion impar—the nerve cluster at the base of the coccyx—under imaging guidance, this block interrupts pain signals, providing significant relief, reducing the need for opioids, and improving patient comfort and quality of life.
