The ideal mode of palliation (symptom control) is the removal or minimisation of the cause (. disease-directed therapies). For example, in malignant bone pain, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and/or bisphosphonates may be used. For an infection, antimicrobials or surgical drainage of an abscess may be required. Alongside disease directed therapy, there are a host of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, which should be used on an individual basis depending on the specific clinical situation. Cancer pain management remains an area where, in selected difficult cases, destructive neurosurgical procedures can be appropriate because the limited life expectancy minimises the risk of secondary deafferentation. | Cancer Facts Figures 2012 Special Section Cancers with Increasing Incidence Trends see page 25 Contents Basic Cancer Age-adjusted Cancer Death Rates Males by Site US 1930-2008 .2 Age-adjusted Cancer Death Rates Females by Site US 1930-2008 .3 Estimated New Cancer Cases and Deaths by Sex US 2012 .4 Estimated Numbers of New Cases for Selected Cancers by State US 2012 .5 Estimated Numbers of Deaths for Selected Cancers by State US 2012 .6 Incidence Rates for Selected Cancers by State US 2004-2008 .7 Death Rates for Selected Cancers by State US 2004-2008 .8 Selected Leading New Cancer Cases and Deaths - 2012 Estimates .10 Probability of Developing Invasive Cancers over Selected Age Intervals by Sex US 2006-2008 . 14 Five-year Relative Survival Rates by Stage at Diagnosis 2001-2007 . 17 Trends in 5-year Relative Survival Rates by Race US 1975-2007 . 18 Special Section Cancers with Increasing Incidence Trends in the US Tobacco Annual Number of Cancer Deaths Attributable to Smoking by Sex and Site US 2000-2004 .37 Cancer Cancer Incidence and Death Rates by Site Race and Ethnicity US 2004-2008 .44 Geographic Patterns in Lung Cancer Death Rates by State US 2004-2008 .45 Nutrition and Physical Environmental Cancer The Global Fight against The American Cancer Sources of Screening Guidelines for the Early Detection of Cancer in Average-risk Asymptomatic People .64 indicates a figure or table National Home Office American Cancer Society Inc. 250 Williams Street NW Atlanta GA 30303-1002 404 320-3333 2012 American Cancer Society Inc.
