    AbstractCancer-related pain is progressive and therefore requires a stepwise approach to management, such as the World Health Organization's Pain Ladder. This approach calls for increasingly strong pain medications in addition to interventional options for patients with medication-refractory pain or intolerable medication side effects. Here, we discuss a case involving cancer-related pain which ultimately required intrathecal drug delivery system placement for optimal pain management.© The Author(s) 2020.
