| Abstract: | The life-expectancy of cancer patients has been extended with advances in therapy (De Vita et al 1979). As a consequence, Health Care Professionals face an increasing population of cancer patients whose primary need is to maintain an optimal quality of life. The chief complaint of many terminal cancer patients is pain. Although pharmacological, anaesthesiological, surgical and oncological techniques for the relief of pain are nowadays available, reports from USA as well as from Europe (Bonica 1986, Darrepaal et al 1989) indicate a severe undertreatment of cancer pain. |
