Pain relief is one of the main challenges of our work and in cancer patients, this aspect takes on special relevance due to the physical and psychological effects it can have. Acute postoperative pain commonly exists after breast cancer surgery, it has been shown that 54% of patients who had surgery for breast cancer experienced clinically important pain, so it is important to understand the risk factors associated with its presentation, as well as the interventions that we can carry out in the perioperative period to reduce its prevalence.
