Moderate to severe pain occurs in many cancer patients during their clinical course and may stem from the primary pathology, metastasis, or as treatment side effects. Uncontrolled pain using conservative medical therapy can often lead to patient distress, loss of productivity, shorter life expectancy, longer hospital stays, and increase in healthcare utilization. Various publications shed light on strategies for conservative medical management for cancer pain and a few international publications have reviewed limited interventional data. Our multi-institutional working group was assembled to review and highlight the body of evidence that exists for opioid utilization for cancer pain, adjunct medication such as ketamine and methadone and interventional therapies. We discuss neurolysis via injections, neuromodulation including targeted drug delivery and spinal cord stimulation, vertebral tumor ablation and augmentation, radiotherapy and surgical techniques. In the United States, there is a significant variance in the interventional treatment of cancer pain based on fellowship training. As a first of its kind, this best practices and interventional guideline will offer evidenced-based recommendations for reducing pain and suffering associated with malignancy.
许多癌症患者在其临床病程中会出现中度至重度疼痛,其可能源于原发病理、转移或作为治疗副作用。使用保守药物治疗而未得到控制的疼痛通常会导致患者痛苦、生产力下降、预期寿命缩短、住院时间延长以及医疗保健利用率增加。各种出版物揭示了癌症疼痛保守药物管理的策略,一些国际出版物也对有限的介入性数据进行了综述。我们的多机构工作组聚集在一起,以审查和突出存在的关于阿片类药物用于癌症疼痛、辅助药物如氯胺酮和美沙酮以及介入治疗的证据。我们讨论了通过注射进行神经溶解、包括靶向药物递送和脊髓刺激的神经调节、椎体肿瘤消融和强化、放射治疗以及手术技术。在美国,基于专科培训,癌症疼痛的介入治疗存在显著差异。作为同类中的首个,本最佳实践和介入指南将为减轻与恶性肿瘤相关的疼痛和痛苦提供循证建议。
