A questionnaire survey was carried out with the aim of evaluating knowledge about and practice of cancer pain treatment in Denmark. A questionnaire was sent to a 10% random sample of Danish physicians. Of these 1411 physicians, 1068 (76%) returned the questionnaires and after the exclusion of those doctors who never treated cancer patients, 577 (54%) were analyzed. ⋯ Older physicians performed less satisfactorily than did their younger colleagues. Basic pain treatment skills have been acquired by the Danish physicians. However, in the future emphasis should be placed on the treatment of neuropathic pain with coanalgesics and the management of opioid side-effects.
