Abstract
Cancer is newly diagnosed in more than 1 million Americans annually, and 1 of 5 deaths in the United States -- about 1400 per day -- results from cancer1. Cancer is increasingly prevalent in the United States, yet unfortunately, the pain associated with it is frequently undertreated in both adults and children.Keywords
