    • Abstract

  • Pain is one of the most common symptoms in cancer patients. Apart from causing patients to suffer from unpleasant feelings and negative emotional experiences, uncontrolled pain may also influence patients' function and quality of life, and may be associated with poorer prognosis. Poor management of chronic cancer-related pain may be related to its complicated mechanisms, limitations of current clinical treatment and clinicians' and patients' insufficient understanding of the symptom. Therefore, this review summarizes the definitions, classifications, evaluation and treatment principles of chronic cancer-related pain, and emphasises the importance of multidisciplinary management and patient education in cancer pain management to provide clinicians with the overall idea of pain management in adult cancer patients.
