The condition is characterized by pain often accompanied by a brief facial spasm or tic. Pain distribution is unilateral and follows the sensory distribution of cranial nerve V, typically radiating to the maxillary (V2) or mandibular (V3) area.

Causes of Cancer
The vast majority of cancers--about 80%--are considered sporadic, meaning that there is no clear cause. For some reason, certain normal genes begin to mutate (change), multiplying rapidly and becoming malignant. There are several environmental influences that may cause these gene mutations to occur. In fact, a large number of cancers are preventable because most of these factors can be controlled with healthy lifestyle choices. 

Environmental causes of cancer include:

  • Age: cancer is most common among people over the age of 50. 
  • Diet: high-fat, high-cholesterol diets are proven risk factors for several types of cancer, particularly colon cancer
  • Obesity: although no clear link has been established, research indicates obesity may be a contributing factor to some cancers.
  • Cigarettes greatly increase the lung cancer risk, even among non-smokers forced to inhale secondhand smoke. Other tobacco products, like pipes and chewing tobacco, are linked to cancers of the mouth, tongue and throat.
  • Long-term exposure to chemicals like asbestos, radon and benzene
  • Exposure to high levels of radiation
  • Harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun are directly linked to melanoma and other forms of skin cancer
  • Some viruses, including hepatitis B and C, human papillomaviruses (HPV), and the Epstein-Barr virus, which causes infectious mononucleosis, have been associated with increased cancer risk 
  • Immune system diseases, like AIDS, can make one more susceptible to some cancers

The other 20% of cancers are hereditary.  This means that the abnormal gene responsible for causing the cancer is passed from parent to child, posing a greater risk for that type of cancer in all descendants of the family. However, just because someone has a cancer-causing gene doesn't mean they will automatically get cancer. If hereditary cancer is suspected, family members should consider genetic counseling and testing to determine their risk.  Regular cancer screenings are recommended for high-risk families so that if cancer does occur, it will be diagnosed in the early stages, when it's most responsive to treatment.

Signs of hereditary cancer include:

  • Several relatives with cancer
  • Cancers that occur at an earlier age than normal
  • Multiple or bilateral cancers: for example, a person with breast cancer who also develops ovarian cancer
  • Rare or unusual types of cancer
  • Ethnic background: some cancers are more common among certain population groups

Types of Cancer
There are many different types of cancer.  Several factors, including location and how the cancerous cells appear under the microscope, determine how cancer is diagnosed.  For example, there are several forms of breast cancer, classified according to where the tumors originate within the breast, and their tendency to invade surrounding organs and tissue. All cancers, however, fall into one of four broad categories:

Carcinomas are tumors that arise in the tissues that line the body's organs. About 80% of all cancer cases are carcinomas.
 

Sarcomas are tumors that originate in bone, muscle, cartilage, fibrous tissue or fat.
 

Leukemias are cancers of the blood or blood-forming organs.

Lymphomas affect the lymphatic system, a network of vessels and nodes that acts as the body's filter. The lymphatic system distributes nutrients to blood and tissue, and prevents bacteria and other foreign "invaders" from entering the bloodstream.   There are over 20 types of lymphoma.
