Although the prevalence of uncontrolled cancer pain remains
unnecessarily high, research has indicated that 90% of cancer
patients with pain can be successfully treated with standard
therapies. This concise yet extremely comprehensive guide to
managing cancer pain will enable nurses on the front lines of pain
assessment and management to incorporate effective strategies into
their daily practice. It offers quick access to current
evidence-based guidelines for busy nurses and nurse practitioners
working in all oncology care settings. To facilitate quick
information retrieval, the text is designed in a consistently
organized, bulleted format with highlighted key information and
tools for assessment and standardized treatment. It also serves as
an important review for the ONS and HPNA certification exam.
This book focuses on all aspects of cancer pain, including
assessment and screening tools, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic
treatment options, current national guidelines for pain management,
regional anesthesia techniques, patient-controlled anesthesia, and
epidural pain management. It also includes updated information on
the effect of opioid polymorphisms, cancer pain emergencies,
myofascial pain, and chronic pain in cancer survivors. The book
covers palliative care and end-of-life pain management, especially
for patients who have symptoms that are not managed. Information on
chronic pain conditions such as neuropathic pain in cancer and the
use of adjuvant medications for pain control are included, along
with special treatment options for addiction and substance abuse in
the cancer population. The text additionally provides information
on managing pain with difficult-to-treat populations. Key
