AB  - Chronic intractable pain is experienced by an overwhelming majority of cancer patients, compromising their quality of life. The pain can be due to several causes: infiltration by tumours, bone metastases, or a consequence of therapy. The mainstay of analgesia has been opioid treatment of various formulations, but this is limited in efficacy and is not without considerable side effects. Recent advances in understanding the underlying pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms of cancer pain have been derived from animal models and related histopathological findings from chronic pain patients. The identification of novel drug targets, and their imminent clinical trials, provides the prospect of new treatments for alleviating cancer pain in the near future.
