Let no pain in cancer patients
The World Health Organization "in 2000 for patients with cancer pain no longer", and at present there are still considerable proportion of cancer patients can not shake off the pain of their worries. December 4, my pain control expert members in Beijing symposium, the experts issued a joint press called for the strengthening of scientific research of cancer pain, the pain of cancer patients disarm.
At present there are more than 200 million cancer patients, the annual incidence of 1.6 million, 1.3 million deaths each year. Although the World Health Organization as early as in 1982 that suggested that the goal of cancer patients painless and the "three-step programme pain," but in recent years the National Cancer Pain Investigation still show that China has nearly 62 percent of cancer patients suffering from pain.
Experts analyzed that affect our country's cancer patients pain control factors are the main obstacle to the concept, there are also channels for drug problems. National Cancer Pain survey confirmed the status quo, medical personnel, patients and their families are widespread, "morphine-phobia" in the factors affecting the use of narcotic drugs, health care professionals do not know the correct accounting for 20%, anaesthetics too strict quality control, 20% , the inadequate supply of narcotic drugs accounted for 10% of the doctor does not open anesthetics reasons, there are many patients because their families do not agree to use.
According to the experts, the World Health Organization will be "medical morphine consumption," as a measure of implementation of the "three cancer pain ladder programme" targets. China's medical morphine consumption from 1984 growth of 4 kg in 1996 to 144 kg. But compare 1996 105 countries morphine consumption, consumption of the developed countries for 16.4 million kg, is China's 137.3 times.
Experts pointed out that to promote the "three cancer pain ladder programme is" no need to add high-end equipment, the key is to strengthen the publicity and education, so that people out of pain treatment errors, and to further strengthen scientific research to identify patients with pain medication China's laws to guide safe and effective medical treatment. Experts initiatives all sectors of society concerned about the pain of cancer patients, the elimination of the use of narcotic analgesics in patients with the fears and concerns and improve the quality of life of cancer patients.
