Pain and other symptoms in cancer survivors.
Pain is common in cancer survivors. Long-term pain, often of neuropathic origin, is common after operations, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Pain and other concomitant symptoms and side effects should be assessed with validated and reliable scales and questionnaires. Cancer survivors with severe pain should be seen by a pain specialist. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation and individualized pain management may improve quality of life in cancer survivors. Four case reports are presented to illustrate this.
