Cancer pain: the US responds

The increasing public and professional interest in the United States concerning effective cancer pain control, has led to the development of state cancer pain initiatives. However, the understandable pressure to reduce drug abuse has paradoxically made effective pain control more difficult. It is hoped that the combined impetus of state initiatives and various national groups will lead to improved pain management. Achieving better relief of cancer pain goes some way to meeting the current debate on euthanasia.
