Abstract

This observational study was carried out to investigate the pain management of 100 advanced cancer patients in a multidisciplinary academic centre. Ninety-five percent of patients reported substantial pain, 66% of patients received inadequate analgesics and only 6.32% received strong opioids. This study revealed that pain management was insufficient at the investigated institute, which could be attributed to the restricted use of strong opioids.
