Patient Testimonials
My mother's cancer pain had not been controlled for months. Dr. Jain changed her medicines and performed a nerve block — within a week she was sleeping through the night again.
He explained every option patiently, including what he would not recommend. That honesty is rare and it made the decision easy for our family.
We travelled from Indore for his opinion. The consultation was unhurried and the plan he wrote out was followed by our local doctor without any confusion.
FAQs
Practical answers about consultations, medicines and procedures.
Consultations are by appointment at Sushrut Hospital, Chembur, Mumbai, as part of Dr. Advani's team, and at Gleneagles Hospital. Patients from Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and across India are welcome.
Please bring all prescriptions and current medicines, recent scans and reports (CT, MRI, PET), biopsy or histopathology reports, and a short written note of when the pain began, where it travels and what makes it better or worse.
Used correctly, at the right dose and with monitoring, opioids are safe and remain the backbone of moderate to severe cancer pain relief. Addiction is rare in this setting; side effects such as constipation and drowsiness are anticipated and treated from day one.
No. Most pain is controlled with medicines alone. Procedures such as coeliac plexus blocks or intrathecal therapy are considered when pain persists despite adequate medicines, or when side effects limit the dose.
Yes. Every patient leaves with a written plan that a local physician or oncologist can follow, along with clear instructions on when to escalate and how to reach the clinic.

For many cancer patients around the world, the disease itself is only part of the battle. Chronic, often debilitating pain is one of the most feared and under-treated aspects of cancer — and in many countries, access to specialized pain management remains limited, expensive, or simply unavailable. This is why a growing number of international patients are now traveling to India specifically for cancer pain management — not just cancer treatment.
