The management of cancer in the older person has become a central issue of oncology. At present, some 60% of all cancers in the United States and approximately 70% of cancer-related deaths occur in persons aged 65 and older, and these figures will continue to increase at a significant rate as the number of older people in our population grows. This review studies the management of pain, one of the most common and consequential symptoms of cancer and cancertreatment, in the older person. In particular, the article explores the influence of age on pain perception, assessment, and management. These questions will be addressed after attempting a definition of age in biological terms. In the conclusion, the American Geriatrics Society's guidelines for the management of pain in older individuals will be examined and a research agenda outlined.
