Breakthrough
pain is common in patients with cancer and is a significant cause of morbidity in
this group of patients. Breakthrough pain is a heterogeneous condition, and so
its management needs to be individualised. This paper describes the management
of breakthrough pain and, specifically, the recently published guidelines of
the European Oncology Nursing Society.
