Genetics and Opioids: Towards More Appropriate Prescription in Cancer Pain

18 Jul 2020

Abstract excerpt

Opioids are extensively used in patients with cancer pain; despite their efficacy, several patients can experience ineffective analgesia and/or side effects. Pharmacogenetics is a new approach to drug prescription based on the "personalized-medicine" concept, i.e., the ability of tailoring treatments to each individual's genetic/genomic profile. Pharmacogenetics aims to identify specific genetic variants that...
