The Epidemiology of Cancer Pain
Cancer Investigation, 2005We identified 28 epidemiological surveys by applying a sensitive search in Medline and CancerLit databases, supplemented by hand searches. Only two surveys enrolled more than 10,000 patients with cancer. The remaining were hospital or clinic-based surveys of at most a few hundred patients. Fourteen surveys were conducted in the United States.

Evaluation and assessment of cancer pain and cancer pain treatment
Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2001Evaluation and assessment are the first steps of any strategy for the management of cancer pain, and are fundamental for any clinical research project in this field. Different clinical systems for evaluation and classification of cancer pain syndromes are available and their clinical usefulness should be tested.

Neurosurgery, 1979
This paper provides an overview of the current status of the management of cancer pain. The concept of "total care" of the patient with cancer incorporates an effort to eradicate or suppress the underlying malignancy, but when this is no longer feasible emphasis is shifted to symptom control to maximize the quality of remaining life.

Antidepressants in Cancer Pain
Journal of Palliative Care, 1991Studies conducted in recent years have helped define the role of antidepressant drugs in the management of cancer pain. The anti-nociceptive action of these agents seems to be independent of beneficial effect on depression or mood. Among antidepressant drugs, those of the tricyclic class are preferred when an analgesic effect is sought.

Most patients with cancer develop pain at some stage of their illness, and most of these patients will require opioids for pain. In the Western world, we are “spoiled for choice” and have a range of different opioids and opioid formulations available. The universal undertreatment of pain is widespread and well recognized. This undertreatment results in

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008
Pain ranges in prevalence from 14–100% among cancer patients and occurs in 50–70% of those in active treatment. Cancer pain may result from direct invasion of tumor into nerves, bones, soft tissue, ligaments, and fascia, and may induce visceral pain through distension and obstruction. Cancer pain is multifaceted.

The Lancet, 1999
Patients with cancer have diverse symptoms, impairments in physical and psychological functioning, and other difficulties that can undermine their quality of life. If inadequately controlled, pain can have a profoundly adverse impact on the patient and his or her family. The critical importance of pain management as part of routine cancer care has been

Veterinary Record, 2013
AS the treatment of cancer in our patients improves and becomes more widely accepted, indeed expected, by our clients, we are increasingly obliged to consider the measures that impact on our patients' quality of life, the ‘raison d’etre' of our profession, including the management of pain.

Hospital Practice, 2000
More than a third of patients undergoing therapy for cancer and 60% to 90% of those with advanced malignancy report significant pain. Effective analgesic therapy is available, yet large segments of this population--in particular, elderly patients in nursing homes, minorities, and women--receive inadequate palliative therapy.
