Manual of Cancer PainThis manual covers basic information which should enable the successful diagnosis and treatment of 90 per cent of patients with pain due to cancer. Our aim has been not to trivialize the problem, which remains complex and in some cases difficult to solve, but to help all health care professionals involved in the care of cancer patients who are not pain specialists, to understand and be able to manage most of the situations they see in their clinical practice. |
