What Are the Benefits of Using Topical Anesthesia in Cancer Patients?
The use of topical anesthesia offers several benefits, particularly for cancer patients who may be undergoing multiple invasive procedures. These benefits include:
- Minimized Pain: Effective pain relief during minor procedures, which can significantly improve patient comfort. - Reduced Anxiety: Alleviating procedural pain can help in reducing anxiety associated with medical interventions. - Non-Invasive: Unlike systemic pain management options, topical anesthesia is non-invasive and has fewer systemic side effects.
