Cancer Information Service publishes a sheet on pain
The free sheet explains where to find support. The service can be reached daily from 8:00 to 20:00.
On 9 November 2026, the Cancer Information Service at the German Cancer Research Center published a free information sheet on pain in cancer. Pain can come from the tumour, from metastases or from treatment. The service says people should tell their care team about symptoms early.
The sheet is titled “Treating cancer pain effectively” and is available to download. The service answers personal questions daily from 8:00 to 20:00 on 0800 420 30 40 and at krebsinformationsdienst.de. The sheet does not replace a conversation with the treating doctor.
