Abstract
Pain management as symptom control in palliative care with cancer patients is crucial. Medical rehabilitation is one of the main factors to rebuild activities of daily living of the cancer patient. Therefore medical rehabilitation should cooperate with clinical anesthesiology to support cancer patients. Controlling rest pain depends on techniques which arise from clinical anesthesiology, and pain upon activities of daily living such as standing up, walking, or sitting down, should be cared for by the interventions and skills of medical rehabilitation. Pain control and medical rehabilitation interventions occur at the beginning of the developmental process in the field of palliative care of cancer. We should make an effort to study the next stage of palliative care by cooperating with clinical anesthesiologists and medical rehabilitation therapists.
