    AbstractAlthough most patients with cancer pain can attain a favorable balance between analgesia and side effects with a conventional approach to opioid therapy, a substantial minority cannot. For these patients, an important subgroup of whom have neuropathic pain, alternative therapeutic strategies are needed. With a detailed assessment, clinicians should be able to choose among the large and diverse group of options available and implement an approach, or combination of approaches, that have a high probability of improving analgesic outcomes.
