Abstract EN

Chemical neurolytic nerve blocks have been successfully used to treat a variety of cancer-related pain.

However, the literature has been sparse regarding neurolysis of the brachial plexus for cancer pain.

We present a unique case report of a successful chemical neurolysis of the brachial plexus with dehydrated ethanol for a patient suffering from metastatic mammary carcinoma with tumor invasion of the right brachial plexus.
