Cancer Pain
Despite all the advances that have occurred in understanding the pathophysiology and treatment of pain, cancer pain remains a very prevalent and serious public health problem. Pain precludes a satisfactory quality of life.
Pain associated with cancer can be caused by the cancer itself or the treatment for the cancer. Many cancer pain syndromes have been identified. Examples of these are numerous and can be related to the location of the original cancer, its treatment or systemic effects of the tumor. These systemic effects are now gradually being discerned and research is beginning to identify them.
