Raffaele Giusti: Withholding opioids for pain in immunotherapy patients?

Raffaele Giusti, Medical Oncologist at Sant’Andrea Hospital of Rome, made the following post on LinkedIn:

“Discussions around withholding opioids for pain in immunotherapy patients must consider comprehensive clinical evidence.
While retrospective studies offer insights, a nuanced approach integrating patient-specific factors is essential for informed decisions.
A special thanks for supporting our work to Eduardo Bruera, Elena Bandieri, Arturo Cuomo, Dario Trapani, Marco Filetti and Marco Maltoni.
And finally I’d like to extend an even bigger thank you to Giampiero Porzio for once again nudging us to look beyond the bar.
Now on The Oncologist Journal.”
