However, the organization of pain treatment for patients on an outpatient basis with pain syndrome has not been studied in our country. Using an online survey, we conducted a survey of oncologists treating outpatient patients with cancer. It turned out that more than half of the respondents believe that the organization of care for such patients has shortcomings, including the lack of routing orders, clinical recommendations and other regulatory documents, as well as the lack of specialized pain treatment rooms and difficulties with issuing prescriptions for painkillers. At the same time, the study revealed low awareness of doctors regarding the availability of certain painkillers in pharmacies.</p>malignant neoplasmsoncological diseasescancer painorganization of pain managementchronic pain in oncologyзлокачественные новообразованияонкологические заболеванияонкологическая больорганизация обезболиванияхроническая боль в онкологии1.Bradley N., Davis L., Chow E.
