A new report finds about one in three cancer survivors (34.6%) reported having chronic pain, representing nearly 5.4 million cancer survivors in the U.S. The report, appearing as a Research Letter in JAMA Oncology, finds one in six survivors (16%), representing about 2.5 million people in the U.S., reported suffering from high impact chronic pain that restricts daily functioning. Those rates are about double the rates in the general population.
NIH has announced it will stop issuing funding opportunities solely dedicated to animal models, but has not published any formal guidance related to the announcement, and researchers are unclear on when or whether further policy materials are to be expected.
