JCO - Cancer Pain Management - The Care People Need and the Education of Physicians

"...............Basic skills in patient care and in pain management remain an essential component of optimal oncology care. If we are to provide patients with the care they deserve, we must not just integrate training in pain management into every fellowship program, we must expect oncologists to practice what they learn...........The data suggest that the biggest barrier will be the oncologists already in practice who think the status quo doesn't need to change."
