About Breakthrough Cancer Pain

An estimated 3 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed in Europe in 2006. In patients with cancer, chronic pain often has two components: persistent pain and breakthrough cancer pain. Breakthrough pain is an intense transient flare of pain that interrupts or "breaks through" their persistent pain. The onset of breakthrough cancer pain is often sudden, reaches peak intensity within three minutes, and lasts for a median duration of 30 minutes. Patients may have up to four episodes of breakthrough pain per day. Episodes may occur during a specific activity or incident or spontaneously with no apparent cause.
