Access to interventional therapies for cancer pain: An exploratory survey of cancer pain experts
Despite the growing need for cancer pain management, specialists continue to face substantial barriers to delivering effective care. This exploratory survey of cancer pain experts identified patterns of reported use and access limitations for therapies across cancer types and practice settings. These findings suggest a relationship between procedural complexity and access barriers, with utilization and availability shaped by institutional resources and practice settings.
