    Citation Excerpt :

    For the general public, pain is the main death-related concern, but it is frequently undertreated. Various articles stress that there are differences in pain management between European countries and recognize that different cultural factors may be involved [13,165,166,170]. In most cases, all European countries share these cultural factors.

    2009, Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology
    Citation Excerpt :

    This is a big setback for positive pain control as pain is an extremely subjective symptom and only the patient can describe the intensity and magnitude of his/her personal experience of pain. There is still great reluctance to prescribe opioid analgesics for fear of the patient developing addiction, tolerance or side effects [138,139]. Moreover, among cancer patients morphine is often considered as a last resort [140].
