Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue on Pain Management and Palliative Care for Patients with Advanced Cancer. This Issue will explore treatment modalities for pain in patients suffering from cancer pain in their final stages. We will discuss palliative symptom management as well as palliative surgical interventions and radiation oncology therapies. In addition to medical treatments, we will provide an update on the common interventional pain procedures that would benefit patients in late stages of cancer and at end of life.
We believe that by highlighting multidisciplinary approach to cancer pain, involving anesthesia pain specialists, palliative care physicians, radiologists and radiation oncology specialists as well as neurosurgeon and physicians form other surgical specialties, this Issue that will address cancer pain in a comprehensive, multimodal yet highly personalized model aimed to show that team interventions can significantly improve pain outcomes, especially at end of life.
