[Pain experience and its assessment in patients with cancer].
A large percentage of patients with carcinoma experience so much pain that specific nursing interventions are imperative. Appropriate interventions are possible only if the nurse has a thorough understanding of the clinical picture and the causes of pain in patients with carcinoma. She should also be cognisant of the assessment possibilities regarding the identification of the nature and intensity of their pain.
