- Cancer_pain abstract "Pain in cancer may arise from a tumor compressing or infiltrating tissue; from treatments and diagnostic procedures; or from skin, nerve and other changes caused by either the body's immune response or hormones released by the tumor. Most acute (short-term) pain is caused by treatment or diagnostic procedures, although radiotherapy and chemotherapy may produce painful conditions that persist long after treatment has ended.At any given time, about half of all patients with malignant cancer are experiencing pain, more than a third of them experience moderate or severe pain that diminishes their quality of life by adversely affecting mood, sleep, social relations and activities of daily living. The presence of pain depends mainly on the location of the cancer and the stage of the disease. Two thirds of patients with advanced stage cancer experience significant pain.Cancer pain can be eliminated or well controlled in 80 to 90 percent of cases by the use of drugs (such as morphine) and other interventions, but nearly one in two patients in the developed world receives less-than-optimal care and, worldwide, nearly 80 percent of people with cancer receive little or no pain medication.Guidelines for the use of drugs in the management of cancer pain have been published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and others. Healthcare professionals have an ethical obligation to ensure that, whenever possible, the patient or patient's guardian is well-informed about the risks and benefits associated with their pain management options. Adequate pain management may sometimes slightly shorten a dying patient's life.".
