Unilateral Lower Extremity Pain Due to Malignancy Managed with Cordotomy

Cancer pain management is comprehensive, and it generally begins with pharmacotherapy in a step-wise approach per analgesic guidelines established decades ago by the World Health Organization. This analgesic ladder involves the prescribing of co-analgesics, adjuvants, and opioids, with each step depending on pain severity. Although the majority of cancer pain responds to this strategy, there exist patients who do not respond adequately or experience significant side effects or intolerance to pain medications.
