The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 3.5 million people suffer daily from cancer pain. Approximately 30% to 40% of people with intermediate stages of cancer and 55% to 90% of patients with advanced or terminal disease have pain. A multidisciplinary effort is under way in Wisconsin to improve cancer pain management. In recognition of the state's initiative, the World Health Organization has designated Wisconsin a demonstration state for cancer pain management. Support for staffing is provided by the United States Public Health Service Interagency Committee on Pain and Analgesia. In December 1986, 65 people representing 50 health organizations met to develop a comprehensive plan of action to improve pain management in people with cancer. In this article the various statewide activities focused at improving cancer pain management are discussed.
世界卫生组织估计，每天约有350万人遭受癌症疼痛。处于癌症中期的患者中，约30%至40%会疼痛，而晚期或终末期患者中，这一比例为55%至90%。威斯康星州正在开展多学科合作，以改善癌症疼痛管理。鉴于该州的这一举措，世界卫生组织已指定威斯康星州为癌症疼痛管理示范州。美国公共卫生服务机构间疼痛与镇痛委员会为人员配备提供支持。1986年12月，来自50个卫生组织的65人齐聚一堂，制定了一项全面的行动计划，以改善癌症患者的疼痛管理。本文将讨论该州为改善癌症疼痛管理所开展的各项活动。
