Abstract
Pain is one of the most common symptoms reported in patients with cancer. This pain can be nociceptive (somatic or visceral) or neuropathic, or a combination of these. Pain can arise secondary to tumor burden itself or from treatments comprising radiation or chemotherapy, which can lead to radiation fibrosis and peripheral nerve damage, respectively, potentially resulting in chronic pain states. In this chapter, we will first discuss the evaluation of patients with cancer pain along with an assessment of cancer pain, followed by an overview of pharmacologic and interventional treatment options available to treat cancer pain.
