Cancer pain management

H M Chang. Med Clin North Am. 1999 May.

Abstract

Pain control is vital to the quality of life of patients with cancer. From pain assessment and pharmacologic management to interventional management, special features of cancer pain are outlined in this article. Many evidence-based national and societal guidelines were developed during the past decade on cancer pain management. Proper and adequate management of cancer pain is strongly recommended by all the clinical practice guidelines.
