The PAGA project, initiated by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), is a unique initiative that seeks to adapt the ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines to the characteristics of ethnic, scientific, socio-economic and local practice in Asia. This project is especially important in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, as it aims to develop guidelines to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also taken steps to ensure that cancer patients receive the best possible care during this difficult time. To this end, they have developed guidelines for the pharmacological and radiotherapeutic treatment of cancer pain in adults and adolescents.
These guidelines provide evidence-based guidance for initiating and managing cancer pain, and should be used as a guide to prioritize the various aspects of cancer care in order to mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the treatment of patients with cancer. The WHO guidelines are an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals, as they provide clear and concise recommendations for treating cancer pain. They also provide guidance on how to prioritize care in order to ensure that patients receive the best possible care during this difficult time. Additionally, they provide information on how to manage side effects associated with cancer treatments, as well as how to monitor patients for potential complications.
