Opioids In Cancer Pain
Opioids can be effective in relieving pain in more than 90% of cancer patients. However, often irrational fears from both patients and clinicians persist about the potential for addiction, meaning treatable pain continues to be tolerated. This book offers clear guidelines on the use of opioids when managing cancer pain.
