Description
The authors report the assessment of the proportion of patients suffering from pain in a radiotherapy department, and discuss the modalities to take them into care. The study is based on questionnaires given to more than 400 patients and addressing pain occurrence, intensity and treatment. It appears that pain has been under-evaluated and insufficiently treated. A training course has been implemented for physicians and operators for pain assessment, and painkiller or analgesic medicines have been made available. Short communication
