Abstract
The management of cancer pain developed in ground by World Health Organization (WHO) is an analgesic ladder in cancer pain primarily in a region of palliative medicine. After being diagnosed with cancer, however, the number of patients who were followed up in outpatient care or treated for long terms gradually increased, and importance of the management of pain these people experienced also increased. We consider the pain management of long-term cancer survivors by showing 3 cases that produced various kinds of cancer pain. It was a neuropathic pain associated with the chemotherapy, prolonged postoperative pain, contribution of the psychological factor such as anxiety of the recurrence, and use of opioids that became a problem especially for these patients. The pain of a long-term cancer survivor includes a severe element of chronic pain and needs different correspondence, unlike a cancer pain because of the cancer's advanced progression, and it is thought to be the region where the pain clinician should positively intervene.
