WCLC 2016 | Cancer patients and pain

Vera Hirsh, MD of McGill University, Montréal, Canada discusses where pain originates from in cancer patients. Some cancer treatments cause pain, which can be neuropathic pain. Patients with an understanding of their pain can be easier to deal with. History and physical exams are crucial to finding the origin of the pain. Recorded at the 2016 World Conference of Lung Cancer (WCLC) of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) in Vienna, Austria.
