| Article Title: | Controlling cancer pain |
| Abstract: | More than a third of patients undergoing therapy for cancer and 60% to 90% of those with advanced malignancy report significant pain. Effective analgesic therapy is available, yet large segments of this population - in particular, elderly patients in nursing homes, minorities, and women - receive inadequate palliative therapy. |
