Orofacial pain is a universal predicament, afflicting millions of individuals worldwide. Research on the molecular mechanisms of orofacial pain has predominately focused on the role of neurons underlying nociception.

Purpose: To report the treatment outcomes of patients with metastatic bone disease with complete or impending pathologic fractures, who were treated with postoperative radiotherapy (RT), bisphosphonates or both after orthopedic stabilization.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the results of RT, bisphosphonates or both after orthopedic stabilization for complete or impending pathologic fractures in 72 patients with skeletal metastases. After surgery, 32 patients (44%) were treated with RT alone (group 1), 31 patients (43%) were treated with RT and bisphosphonates (group 2) and 9 (13%) patients were treated with bisphosphonates (group 3), respectively.

Pain Clinic, Institut Jules Bordet, Brussels, Belgium.

Purpose Of Review: To present recent developments in the treatment of breakthrough pain (BTP) in cancer, we reviewed the literature with a special focus on last publications using Medline.

Recent Findings: BTP is distinguished from other pain syndromes because of its unique physiopathology, clinical and socio-economic importance and treatment considerations. Despite medical awareness, BTP remains underdiagnosed and therefore undertreated.
