[The problems of Japanese home care for cancer pain patients].

Terminal stage was informed to the incurable cancer patient, suffering severe pain and riding wheel chair in the hospital. Whether her therapy had been continued in the hospital or in her house has been discussed several times with patient her self or her family. We decided to continue her final therapy in her house, however we had to give up the therapy in her house because of so many problems. These experience taught us that house health care system may produces so many unsolved problems in Japan.
