520 "Cancer remains a major challenge for medicine and it
continues to claim lives and cause great suffering. Pain
is a symptom experienced by most cancer patients
regardless of disease stage, and less than 50% of cancer
pain patients achieve effective pain and symptom control
though available therapies. If these therapies are
utilized correctly, many more patients can achieve
effective control. While opioids are still seen as the
mainstay of cancer pain treatment, it is necessary to
examine whether this treatment strategy still holds true
in the 21st century. Cancer Pain provides a comprehensive,
up-to-date, practical guide to the management of pain in
cancer patients. The book provides a clear, concise
explanation of cancer pain syndromes, a modern
understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism and an
overview of recent developments in creating pre-clinical
cancer pain models. It offers the reader the wide and
improved options for management of cancer pain in clinical
practice, including the use of opioid and non-opioid drugs,
and defines the role of non-pharmacological methods for
pain control. Cancer Pain also provides an overview of the
latest developments in the management of cancer, which
have major implications for the current and future
thinking in cancer pain treatment strategy. This text is
an invaluable resource for doctors, trainees and clinical
nurse specialists in palliative medicine and oncology, and
would be of interest to anyone who wishes to gain a better
understanding of the complex nature of cancer pain and the
tools available to alleviate it."
