An ongoing national multicenter survey [Italian Oncologic Pain multiSetting Multicentric Survey (IOPS-MS)] is evaluating the characteristics of breakthrough cancer pain (BTP) in different clinical settings. Preliminary data from first 1500 patients with BTP enrolled this study are presented here. Thirty-two centers involved survey. A diagnosis was performed by a standard algorithm. Epidemiological data, Karnofsky index, stage disease, presence and sites metastases, oncologic treatment,...
PURPOSE A large proportion of patients with cancer suffer from breakthrough pain (BTcP). Several unmet clinical needs concerning BTcP treatment, such as optimal opioid dosages, are being investigated. In this analysis the hypothesis, we explore an unsupervised learning algorithm whether distinct subtypes exist and they can provide new insights into practice. METHODS Partitioning around a k-medoids on data set BTcP, previously collected by Italian Oncologic Pain Survey group, was used to...
Patients with irreversible malignant and non-malignant diseases have comparable mortality rates, symptom burdens, quality of life issues; however, non-cancer patients seldom receive palliative care (PC) or it late in their disease trajectory. To explore the characteristics receiving PC northern Italy, as well features outcomes care, we retrospectively analyzed charts all initiating regimens during 2019 three publicly funded departments Italy’s populous Lombardy region.
