  • Title: Pain management in cancer patients.
    Author: Hanks GW.
    Journal: Therapie; 1992 Nov; 47(6):489-93. PubMed ID: 1301642.
    Abstract:
    Cancer pain in general responds in a predictable way to analgesic drugs and drug therapy is the mainstay of treatment, successfully controlling pain in 70 to 90% of patients. Some pains do not respond so well but can usually be ameliorated by the judicious use of adjuvant analgesics, non-drug measures and the active involvement of the multi-disciplinary team.
