Abstract
In the second article of our pain series Paula Smith, Pat Schofield, Barry Aveyard & Catherine Black discuss the key and controversial issues surrounding the management of pain in patients with terminal cancer. Assessment, education, the continued efficacy of the WHO pain analgesic level and the continuing debates about addiction and the ethics of the double effect of strong opioids continue to result in inadequate pain management in terminal cancer care. ©PTM Publishers Limited.
