title: Pain control in breast cancer. A panel discussion.
abstract: Pain can be a prominent finding in breast cancer patients. It may occur in the setting of the postmastectomy period, related to the disruption of normal neural pathways or the development of lymphedema. In advanced disease, the management of pain from nerve compression or bone metastases requires special approaches. In this panel discussion, the participating physicians will discuss these topics and provide an up-to-date approach to pain control in breast cancer patients.
