Leukemia is a general term for malignant diseases of the blood system. It is a group of primary malignant tumors of the blood system. Most of the diseases begin in the bone marrow, resulting in the release of a large number of abnormal blood cells into the peripheral blood, resulting in a series of clinical symptoms and signs. At present, the exact cause of leukemia is not clear, most of the genetic factors and environmental (non-genetic) factors combined effect of the result. There are four main types of leukemia: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The development of the above-mentioned malignant hematologic diseases to the end stage often causes multiple organ dysfunction and pain. Late pain causes severe body drain and affects the patient's quality of life. In addition to conventional tumor analgesia, pain nursing is also very important in pain management of patients with advanced hematopathy. This paper reviews the literature of late pain nursing for patients with leukemia in recent years, and makes a review in order to provide some reference for the clinical late pain nursing for patients with leukemia.
