Abstract:
One third of cancer patients in active therapy and two thirds of patients with far-advanced disease have significant pain. A series of specific neurologic pain syndromes occur in this population and are unique to this pain population. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent irreversible neurologic damage and chronic neuropathic pain.
