[Ambulatory pain therapy in penetrating rectal cancer via epidural anesthesia].
Treatment of cancer pain includes invasive techniques of pain therapy if necessary. Here we report the management of a 55-year-old female patient with penetrating rectal cancer using continuous lumbal epidural anesthesia. After placement and dose-finding our patient was discharged from hospital and further treatment occurred at home.
