Abstract

The occurrence of pain during the course of bronchial carcinoma is nearly inescapable and often constitutes the main symptom for patients and those close to them. While pain control is held to be a priority of care in cancerology in the future, this goal is not always reached due to insufficient implementation of recommendations, however widely accessible. Our aim is to present the different aspects of pain treatment through the details of both pharmacological and nonpharmacological means.
