Sponsor's own description
Cancer-related pain represents a major challenge for both clinicians and patients. This pain can be associated directly with the cancer or with certain treatments administered to the patient. 52.1% of cancer patients suffer from pain and that 62.6% are not satisfied with the current pain treatment. Pain prevalence is high in developing countries due to late diagnosis and major impediments to opioid access
