Cancer Pain
Cancer pain medicine has evolved significantly over the last few decades. As oncologic treatments have revolutionized cancer patient outcomes, we have seen a change in the cancer pain syndromes that patients face and practitioners must treat. Fortunately, concepts in multimodal pharmacologic therapy and interventional pain medicine have changed the delivery of pain care to these patients. Thus, to appropriately treat today's cancer patients, our caregivers need up to date information to optimize pain care. This compilation of articles on the topic of advanced cancer pain medicine will bridge the advances in oncology and pain medicine for the readership in this field. We will include topics in cancer pain syndromes, neuromodulation, pharmaceuticals and holistic care for the pain patient.
