ABSTRACT
A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 34 patients with cancer,
belonging to Manzanillo municipality of Granma province, from March 2011 to the
same month of 2012, in order to determine in them the prevalence of the pain
according to clinical stages, for which a multi-stage stratified probability sampling was
performed. Among the analyzed variables were tumor location, severity of pain,
analgesic treatment, pain symptoms and opioids used. The presence of variable pain
in all clinical stages was confirmed; however, it prevailed in the third stage (26.4%)
with location in the lung, and in those affected with respiratory symptoms (17.6%) it
was mild and moderate.
