Achieving Equity in Cancer Pain Management

Two clinical experts, a research advocate, and a discussant addressed challenges in the assessment and management of pain in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors. Speakers summarized the critical role of patient-parent-clinician collaboration in improving pain outcomes. Speakers also highlighted the importance of strengthening interdisciplinary global capacity to better address pain in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult palliative care settings, and summarized knowledge gaps that should be addressed through additional research.

The Achieving Equity in Cancer Pain Management Webinar Series is hosted by the NCI Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences. The series uses a multilevel perspective to examine the factors that individually and jointly affect disparities in the quality and outcomes of cancer pain management, and considers approaches to reduce the unequal burden of suffering.
