| Description | Opioids are the mainstay of management of cancer pain. A review of retrospective and prospective data confirms the efficacy of opioids in the treatment of chronic non-cancer pain. The value of opioids in this role has led to the development of management guidelines in various countries. Fentanyl, a lipid soluble synthetic opioid, can be delivered in a transdermal controlled release formulation providing continuous, controlled systemic delivery of fentanyl for up to 72 hours. |
