First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tests if giving a specific type of pain medicine (intrathecal morphine) before cancer surgery helps patients start chemotherapy sooner compared to other pain-blocking methods. Researchers will enroll 200 adults having open surgery for certain cancers. The goal is to see if better pain control with fewer opioids leads to faster recovery and earlier chemo.
