First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to find out how often cancer patients treated with opioids for pain are at risk of misusing these medications. Researchers will use two screening questionnaires to assess misuse risk in 200 adult outpatients receiving opioids for cancer-related pain. The findings could help improve pain management and safety for cancer patients.
