  • Title: Comorbidities in a cancer patient: problems in pain management and palliation.
    Author: Das SC, Khurana H, Gupta D, Mishra S, Bhatnagar S.
    Journal: Am J Hosp Palliat Care; 2009; 26(1):60-3. PubMed ID: 18812616.
    Abstract:
    Pain management and palliation face a great challenge with inclusion of the palliation teams from the earliest phases of diagnosis. The presented case report highlights that early inclusion of pain and palliative physicians in patient care demands comprehensive evaluation of the symptoms by the palliative physicians with possibly curable comorbid conditions requiring active and aggressive curative management. In summary, it is crucial for the treating palliative physician to be more proactive in the management of comorbid treatable conditions in a patient who may be an established case of advanced stage cancer.
