The use of Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) in cancer pain assessment: A systematic review

This has implications for our understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of cancer pain. Understanding the multiple mechanisms driving cancer pain will help to move towards rational individualised analgesic treatment choices.
