SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
Pain is often the initial presenting symptom with sarcomas. Upon resection of a sarcoma, most patients experience a resolution of their pain. However, in those patients with continued pain, treatment often requires multiple medications with moderate benefit.
OBJECTIVE
The authors
Pain often accompanies cancer and most current therapies for treating cancer pain have significant unwanted side effects. Targeting nerve growth factor (NGF) or its cognate receptor tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) has become an attractive target for attenuating chronic pain. In the present
Objectives: The choice of drug treatment in advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) continues to be a challenge regarding efficacy, quality of life (QoL) and toxicity. Unlike other cancer types, where integrating patient-reported outcomes
Noncoding polymorphisms of the GTP cyclohydrolase gene (GCH1) reduce the risk for chronic pain in humans suggesting GCH1 inhibitors as analgesics. We assessed the effects of the GCH1 inhibitor diaminohydroxypyrimidine (DAHP) on nociception and inflammation in a mouse melanoma and a sarcoma cancer
BACKGROUND
Bone cancer pain has a major impact on the quality of life of cancer patients but is difficult to treat. Therefore, development of a novel strategy for bone cancer pain is needed for improvement of the patient quality of life. In this study, we examined the analgesic effects of the
OBJECTIVE
Not all bone cancer pain can be effectively treated with current therapies. In the present study, the effects of ip administration of alpha-2 agonists (dexmedetomidine and clonidine), N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists (MK-801 and ketamine), an N-acetylaspartylglutamate peptidase
Bone is a common metastatic site for prostate and breast cancer, and bone cancer is usually associated with severe pain. Traditional treatments for cancer pain can sometimes be ineffective or associated with side effects. Thus an increasing number of patients seek alternative therapies. In this
OBJECTIVE
The present study evaluated the carvacrol (CARV) effect on hyperalgesia and nociception induced by sarcoma 180 (S180) in mice.
METHODS
Carvacrol treatment (12.5-50mg/kgs.c.) once daily for 15days was started 24h after injection of the sarcoma cells in the hind paw (s.c.). Mice were
More than half of all chronic cancer pain arises from metastases to bone, and bone cancer pain is one of the most difficult of all persistent pain states to fully control. Several tumor types including sarcomas and breast, prostate, and lung carcinomas grow in or preferentially metastasize to the
Despite being associated with dependence and social stigma, methadone is a potential end-of-life option in complex cancer pain.To explore attitudes and opinions about methadone and its potential role and current use in complex end-of-life Treatment results of advanced soft tissue sarcomas are still suboptimal. To evaluate the clinical effects of a combination therapy (FADIP) with Adriamycin (ADM), ifosfamide (IFO), cisplatin (DDP) plus continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (FU) as a synergistic factor for alkylating agents, a phase
BACKGROUND
Opioid analgesics are generally used to combat the pain associated with cancerous conditions. These agents not only inhibit respiratory function and cause constipation, but also induce other significant side effects such as addiction and tolerance, all of which further contribute to a
Although bone cancer pain can be severe and is relatively common, as it frequently arises from metastases from breast, prostate and lung tumours, relatively little is known about the basic mechanisms that generate and maintain this chronic pain. To begin to define the mechanisms that give rise to
Metastatic bone cancer causes severe pain that is primarily treated with opioids. A model of bone cancer pain in which the progression of cancer pain and bone destruction is tightly controlled was used to evaluate the effects of sustained morphine treatment. In cancer-treated mice, morphine
Cancer pain is a significant clinical problem because it is the first symptom of disease in 20% to 50% of all cancer patients, and 75% to 90% of patients with advanced or terminal cancer must cope with chronic pain syndromes related to failed treatment and/or tumor progression. One of the most
