Pain in cancer

by K L Dorrepaal, F S Van Dam, G J Hanewald, J Overweg-van Kints
British medical journal (1986)

Abstract

Pain is one of the most frequent symptoms encountered in oncology which, regarding its complexity and its effects on quality of life, will be better treated with a multidisciplinary approach, for in and out-patients. The knowledge of the pain syndromes associated with an accurate use of pain medicine provide a rapid control of the symptomatology. A coherent use of opioids, the introduction of new drug delivery systems, and the use of new molecules offer new horizons in the control of cancer pain.
