Based on the Guideline for the Management of Cancer Pain in Adults and Children, this guide provides facts about cancer pain treatment, how to manage cancer pain, information about pain assessment, types of pain medications, and additional treatments for pain. It addresses concerns about chemotherapy and radiation therapy that are unique to cancer treatment. In addition to suggesting ways to measure pain, there is a sample "Pain Management Diary," which assists patients in actively monitoring their pain, guiding pain management behavior, enhancing a sense of control, and facilitating communication.
