AB Pain  is  a  complex  symptom  experienced  by  many  cancer  patients.  It  affects  most  aspects  of  life,  and  controlling  it  well  can  make  a  great  difference  in  patients’  perception  of  their  diagnosis.  The  etiology  of  pain  in  cancer  patients  is  very  heterogeneous.  Finding  the  cause  directs  the  treatment  and  improves  the  chances  of  good  pain  control.  In  general,  cancer  pain  syndromes  can  be  divided  into  acute  and  chronic.  Acute  ones  are  usually  direct  consequence  of  invasive  diagnostic  or  therapeutic  procedures,  but  they  can  less  commonly  be  related  to  cancer  itself.  Chronic  ones  are  more  likely  to  be  caused  by  the  neoplastic  process  or  by  antineoplastic  therapy.
