PAIN – AGGRAVATING SYMPTOMS
Pain treatment in patients with cancer is difficult because of other symptoms, that complicate application of analgesics. The most frequent are nausea, vomiting, anorexia and cachexia. We can use transdermal and parenteral application of drugs, but symptomatic treatment of other symptoms is unavoidable.
Keywords: cancer pain, nausea, vomiting, cachexia, anorexia.
