✦ Synopsis

The majority of cancer patients at the terminal stage experience pain as a major symptom, and less than 60% of patients receive adequate pain relief. To relieve this symptom we have placed epidural catheters and attached them to an implantable access system. On this method the patients required 0.4-3.5 mg of morphine per hour with occasional boluses. Catheter life span ranged from 15 to 157 days with an average of 57 days.
