Abstract

An oncological 69-year-old patient with a diagnosis of rectosigma carcinoma after successful conservative treatment of spondylitiswas treated with progression of pain that significantly restricted him not only in usual daily activities, but mainly prevented himfrom lying down. The effect of systemic administration of high doses of opioids, supplemented with non-steroidal anti-inflammatoryand co-analgesics, was not sufficient.
