| Abstract | Pain is a common and dreadful symptom in cancer patients, but is often under-treated. It has high morbidity if not controlled. Cancer pain is usually chronic and is different from acute pain. Success of control depends on the accurate assessment because the causes are multifactorial including biological, psychosocial, cultural and spiritual. Causes, type and approach in assessment of cancer pain are discussed. |
