Management of cancer pain is still a significant problem in healthcare today despite the fact that cancer pain can be controlled in approximately 90% of patients. Emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual suffering associated with the disease complicates the problem. Guidelines issued by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality address management of cancer pain. Pain intensity scales, complementary and alternative methods, and the role of the interdisciplinary care team, as well as the need to provide spiritual support to the patient and family, are included in the discussion.
尽管如今约90%的癌症患者的疼痛能够得到控制，但癌症疼痛的管理在当今医疗保健领域仍是一个重大问题。与该疾病相关的情感、心理社会和精神痛苦使这一问题变得更加复杂。医疗保健研究与质量局发布的指南涉及癌症疼痛的管理。讨论内容包括疼痛强度量表、补充和替代方法、跨学科护理团队的作用，以及为患者及其家属提供精神支持的必要性。
