Abstract

Patients with cancer often experience pain that significantly interferes with their daily life. In this review paper the authors discuss the different aspects of cancer pain by answering different questions regarding cancer pain. Items that are discussed include measurement of pain, medical and interventional pain treatment, side effects, opioid tolerance and addiction and barriers that preclude proper treatment of pain. The conclusion of this review paper is that the treatment of cancer pain is complex and warrants a multidisciplinary team effort with a central role for the patient.
