Management of cancer pain and the opioid epidemic

Abstract

Evangelia Michail Michailidou*

The opioid crisis affects people with cancer who depend on opioids to help them relieve their pain. It can be caused by cancer, by its treatment or by a combination of factors. While some pain lasts for a relatively short period and recovers on its own, cancer or its treatment may also lead to long-lasting, chronic pain. Opioid medications are an important component of the treatment of many forms of unreliable cancer pain.
