Cancer-related bone pain is experienced by patients with primary bone
tumours such as myeloma and osteosarcoma, but is more commonly seen in
patients with malignant tumours that have metastasised to bone. Bone
pain is one of the most common and severe forms of pain associated
with breast, prostate and lung cancer, yet little is known about the
underlying mechanisms responsible for the pain. Cancer patients
identify bone pain as the most disruptive cancer-related event in
terms of their quality of life and daily functioning, and it is also
associated with increased incidence of morbidity, depression, and
anxiety. Part of the Oxford Pain Management Library, this volume
summarises the latest evidence-based and practical information on the
management of cancer-related bone pain. Chapters cover the
pathophysiology and clinical features of bone pain, general principles
of management and the use of opioids and other agents. It will be an
invaluable reference for all health care professionals involved in the
management of patients with bone pain from various disciplines
including palliative care, anaesthetics, oncology and general
practice.
