AB Cancer  pain  deserves  its  own  category  because  it  is  unique  in  cause  and  in  therapies.  Cancer  pain  consists  of  both  acute  pain  and  chronic  pain  from  the  neoplasm  itself  and  from  the  therapies  associated  with  it,  such  as  surgery,  chemotherapy,  radiation,  and  immunotherapy.  In  addition,  patients  with  cancer  pain  may  also  have  acute  or  chronic  non–cancer-related  pain,  and  this  possibility  should  not  be  overlooked  when  taking  care  of  cancer  patients.
