AbstractWe treat cancer pain patients at their homes, in collaboration with their relatives and primary physician. Assistance is free. Our team is monodisciplinary and trained volunteers are the liaison between team and patients. In 118 patients treated with our model between October 1987 and December 1988, we assessed the symptoms that moved them to seek assistance, their previous therapies, and the effectiveness of our intervention. The data obtained suggest that (a) in our country, the majority of cancer patients do not obtain effective pain and symptom control; (b) our model yields satisfactory pain control and improvement in quality of life; and (c) there is a need for centers that teach and practice terminal care; our model may be useful as a working outline for such centers.
