This literature review examines the use of interventional treatments for pain management in pediatric cancer patients. While interventional procedures may be effective in cancer pain management, these procedures are infrequently employed in pediatric cohorts. This underutilization of interventional procedures may be supported by a deficit in randomized, controlled studies and literature regarding their role in pediatric cancer populations. Particularly because literature on the efficacy of interventional treatments in adult populations may not directly translate to pediatric populations, more research about the role of interventional procedures in managing pediatric cancer pain is necessary for a strengthened understanding of pediatric cancer pain treatment.
这篇文献综述探讨了介入治疗在小儿癌症患者疼痛管理中的应用。虽然介入手术在癌症疼痛管理中可能有效,但这些手术在儿科患者群体中很少使用。介入手术的这种未充分利用可能是由于关于其在儿科癌症患者群体中作用的随机对照研究和文献不足。特别是因为关于介入治疗在成人患者群体中疗效的文献可能无法直接应用于儿科患者群体,所以有必要开展更多关于介入手术在小儿癌症疼痛管理中作用的研究,以加深对小儿癌症疼痛治疗的理解。
