[Role of the surgeon in pain management in oncological surgery].
Cancer pain patients need a causal therapy whenever possible. Often surgical treatment offers effective pain therapy (e.g. biliodigestive anastomosis in obstructive cancer). In addition, chemotherapy and/or radiation may be indicated. Simultaneous symptomatic pain management according to the guidelines for pain therapy in cancer pain should be started. In general, therapy of chronic malignant pain should follow the WHO schema for cancer pain. Surgery and medical pain therapy can reduce 96-98% cancer pain effectively.
