Abstract: | During the course of cancer progression up to 90% of the patients suffer from pain of nociceptive, neuropathic or mixed nociceptive/neuropathic origin. Psychological, social or existential factors may additionally affect the intensity of pain (concept of "total pain"). The WHO "analgesic ladder" provides a large variety of effective drugs that can be used according to the specific pain type. Parenteral or peridural opioid therapy as well as neurodestructive methods can effectively support the analgesic treatment in selected cases. |
