Abstract EN
Inflammation is one of the most important causes of the majority of cancer symptoms, including pain, fatigue, cachexia, and anorexia.
Cancer pain affects 17 million people worldwide and can be caused by different mediators which act in primary efferent neurons directly or indirectly.
Cytokines can be aberrantly produced by cancer and immune system cells and are of particular relevance in pain.
Currently, there are very few strategies to control the release of cytokines that seems to be related to cancer pain.
Nevertheless, in some cases, targeted drugs are available and in use for other diseases.
In this paper, we aim to review the importance of cytokines in cancer pain and targeted strategies that can have an impact on controlling this symptom.
