[Home therapy in cancer pain--from the viewpoint of the pain clinic].
Recently, the return to everyday life and a meaningful life are the most important goals in the management of cancer pain patients who have not undergone radical therapy. The aim is therefore betterment of QOL (quality of life) of the cancer pain patients who suffer from physical and mental pain, However, one can not expect much from any kind of therapy without adequate relief of physical cancer pain. Accordingly, pain relief methods in a pain clinic are also necessary for home therapy in cancer pain. We should like to show some cases treated in our pain clinic and emphasize the efficacy of our treatment for cancer pain.
