      Retrospective Study.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence 
      of metastases on pain treatment in patients with cancer-related pain. METHODS: Of 
      the 1736 patients who were treated in Firat University, Faculty of Medicine, 
      Department of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation, Algology Section, for 
      cancer-related pain between January 1997 and December 2010, 1467 with complete 
      medical records were evaluated. Patients were grouped as having no metastasis 
      (Group I), a single organ metastasis (Group II), or multiple organ metastasis 
      (Group III). RESULTS: There was no difference between the groups with regard to 
      age. Visual Analog Pain (VAS) scores at admission were higher in Group III 
      compared to the other groups, and significantly higher in Group I than in Group 
      II. Analgesic ladder treatment was given to 85.5% of patients, and 14.5% were 
      treated using additional minimally invasive analgesic intervention (MIAI) 
      methods. In Group II and Group III, the rates of treatment in Step I and II were 
      lower compared to Group I, while the rates of treatment in Step III were higher. 
      Implementation of MIAI was higher in Group III than in the other groups, and 
      higher in Group II than in Group I. CONCLUSION: The presence of metastases causes 
      more severe pain, which becomes more difficult to treat, and increases the 
      analgesia step and the consumption of opioids in patients with cancer-related 
      pain.
