초록

In early stages, cancer is not usually painful. However, many patients with recurrent or metastatic cancer eventually experience pain, which becomes progressively worse. Chemotherapy, sympathetic surgery, physical therapy and nerve block can be used to control cancer pain. A 60-year old patient had severe pain of the soft palate due to squamous cell carcinoma. We successfully treated this patient with maxillary nerve block using pure alcohol by a lateral approach. Four months after maxillay nerve block, the patient is still pain free.
