Brief Summary

Cancer-related pain has a major adverse impact on functional status and quality of life. Recently, a Survey conducted in 2015 in 10 Asian countries showed that among cancer patients in Asian population, 86% of patients reported that their pain affected their activities of daily living, 87% their sleep, 92% their concentration and focus, and 67% excessive reliance on others. Only 34% reported a good quality of life. Effective pain management may help the patient to focus on the positive aspects of life, decreasing the focus on pain and also promote better adherence to reasonable treatment plans. Hence the emphasis is on improving the Quality of Life and not mere pain control.
