Abstract
Background: Pain in oncology patients may be related to underlying disease process, as well as a side effect of chemotherapy and radiation. More than half of all patients with a diagnosis of cancer experience pain, which is often poorly controlled. As such, the treatment of pain in oncology patients demonstrates a significant need to develop new treatment options.
Objective: This review summarizes 35 patents on the treatment of pain among cancer patients. Method: A thorough literature review of all patents filed in 2014 was conducted using PubMed and http://ep.espacenet.com/ as sources identify new treatment options for cancer pain. Results: Our literature search returned 35 patents filed in 2014 related to the treatment of pain in cancer patients. Conclusion: In 2014, a number of patents were filed for the treatment of pain among oncology patients. The great variety of chemical compounds presented indicates that there is a great variety in current research for cancer-related pain. The development of novel treatment options will hopefully lead to more effective therapies in the treatment of cancer-related pain.Keywords: Cancer pain, chronic pain, oncology, oncologic pain, pain management, pain treatment.

Novel anti-cancer drugs in photoimmunotherapy management: from bench to translational research
In recent years, traditional cancer treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment, etc., may damage the pathological tissue and normal cells. The ideal tumor treatment should be noninvasive, eliminating the primary tumor, making the body produce systemic tumor-specific immunity, eliminating metastases, and having less /no side effects.
