Popis:	Pain is experienced by most cancer patients. According to the definition of the International Society for the Study of Pain (IASP), pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage. This very “medical” definition indicates that pain is a mental, subjective, sensual, emotional, and unpleasant phenomenon. In palliative care, there is often a need for a better and deeper understanding of what “total” pain can be. The case of a young patient with lung cancer diagnosis presented an opportunity to describe characteristics of such pain, which encompasses physical, mental, social and spiritual suffering.
