Abstract:
This review focuses on ways to ameliorate diagnosis and treatment of cancer-related pain with currently available knowledge and methods. The first part indicates how to improve pain assessment and diagnosis in the cancer patient. The second part evaluates current views for adequate pain management based on evidence of double-blind analgesic trials in cancer-related pain and deals with misconceptions in established symptomatic therapy.
