DelveInsight's 'Cancer Pain Overview - Epidemiology Forecast-2032' report delivers an in-depth understanding of the cancer pain historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the cancer pain epidemiology trends in the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) and the UK, and Japan.
Cancer Pain Understanding
Cancer Pain Overview
The International Association for the study of pain defines pain as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage." Worldwide, many people are affected by cancer, and the prevalence is rising. Pain is the most typical symptom of cancer at diagnosis and rises in prevalence throughout and beyond cancer treatment and continues to be a major source of suffering in advanced cancer with adverse effects on patients' life quality and caregiver distress. Cancer pain is a complex biologic phenomenon that is poorly understood or classified. No specific and widely acceptable taxonomy of cancer pain exists. In any given patient, different mechanisms can be responsible for the pain.

Etiology and Types of Cancer Pain
Generally, in cancer, the pain is caused by the primary tumor, metastatic disease, or cancer-related treatments; however, a primary cause of the pain cannot always be identified. Most cancer pain is caused by the tumor pressing on bones, nerves, or other organs in the body. Classifications based on the pain duration are acute pain, chronic pain, breakthrough pain, and refractory pain.
Acute pain is due to damage caused by an injury and usually lasts <3-6 months. For example, having an operation can cause acute pain. The pain goes when the wound heals; in the meantime, painkillers will usually keep it under control.
Chronic pain lasts >3-6 months and is persistent due to nerve changes. Nerve changes may be due to cancer pressing on nerves or chemicals produced by a tumor. Nerve changes due to cancer treatment can also cause it. Chronic pain continues long after the injury or treatment is over, can range from mild to severe, and can always be there. Sometimes pain can come on quickly, for example, when changing a dressing or moving around; this type is incident pain.
