Abstract

Cancer is a systemic and progressive disease, and pain is a serious problem for patients. Cordotomy is one of the most effective treatments for refractory cancer pain. Bilateral percutaneous cervical cordotomy can be performed in patients with bilateral extremity pain. Accordingly, this case report discusses the use of bilateral cervical percutaneous cordotomy in the treatment of refractory cancer pain based on a 69-year-old woman with soft tissue sarcoma.
