Résumé
Two hundred patients were refereed for advanced cancer to the oncology department of Luxembourg Hospital in Bamako. All these patients reported intense pain (88 %) which was only treated before admission by OMS level 1 analgesics. It clearly shows that cancer pain is undertreated in Malian peripheral sanitary structures. After evaluation of the pain by analog visual and verbal scales patients, the appropriate analgesic drugs such as morphine (OMS level 3) were given. A control of the pain was obtained in all the patients (100 %) with a dramatic improvement in quality of life. This study emphasizes the need for a pain control program at the Malian state level with a basic education of care givers, hospital-centric networks and access to morphine and opioids at the different levels involved in cancer management.
