Seth Stoller, M.D., Pain Management

Philosophy

Nearly any part of your body is vulnerable to pain. Acute pain warns us that something may be wrong. Chronic pain can rob us of our daily life, making it difficult and even unbearable. Many people with chronic pain can be helped by understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatments for pain - and how to cope with the frustrations.

Fortunately, pain symptoms can be effectively managed in the vast majority of patients. A collaborative approach between oncologists and the pain management team helps effectively diagnose and treat syndromes of cancer pain, thus allowing the patient to heal faster and improve his or her overall state of mind. A clear mind without pain is one that can best battle cancer.
