AbstractIt is estimated that 40% to 50% of patients with metastatic disease and 90% of patients with terminal cancer experience unrelieved pain. Furthermore, inadequate treatment of cancer pain is a greater possibility if the patient is a substance abuser. In this paper, we will explore pertinent conceptual and clinical aspects of addiction that can assist in improving the identification and treatment of patients with substance use disorders.
