Corresponding author Changchuan Jiang, MD, MPH, a medical resident at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s and Mount Sinai West, told Science Daily that the study is the “first comprehensive estimate of chronic pain prevalence among cancer survivors” and that the study results “highlight the important unmet needs of pain management in the large, and growing cancer survivorship community.”
The study also found that the prevalence of chronic pain is highest among certain types of cancer survivors – including bone (54.0%), kidney (52.3%), throat-pharynx (47.9%), and uterine (44.5%) cancers.
