Pain is a public health problem affecting more than half of cancer patients. Despite the success of the protocols currently used, pain cannot still be reduced satisfactorily in the large majority of patients. In order to improve pain management, all healthcare professionals involved with pain should have sufficient knowledge on pain assessment and treatment, and should inform patients to prevent patient-related barriers. In this compilation, the prevalence values and the treatment methods of cancer pain, and the barriers to pain management have been assessed.
疼痛是一个影响超过半数癌症患者的公共卫生问题。尽管目前使用的方案取得了成功，但绝大多数患者的疼痛仍无法得到令人满意的缓解。为了改善疼痛管理，所有参与疼痛治疗的医护人员都应具备足够的疼痛评估和治疗知识，并应告知患者以预防与患者相关的障碍。在本汇编中，对癌症疼痛的患病率、治疗方法以及疼痛管理的障碍进行了评估。
