摘要
Contemporary management of pain is guided by a contemporary understanding of the pathophysiology of pain. Treatment modalities are chosen based on the demonstrated or presumed pathophysiology of cancer pain. When rational oral polypharmacy is used, cancer pain is controlled to the patient's satisfaction 70%-90% of the time.
