摘要
The treatment of pain in the patient with cancer necessitates careful assessment and definition of factors contributing to the pain complaint. We describe 3 cases of patients who had cancer, complained of pain, and were inappropriately treated with escalating doses of opioids. Opioid analgesic medications are commonly used in the management of pain in patients with cancer. Failure to respond to this treatment, the development of increasing pain, and the report of new side effects should prompt reassessment of opioid use.
