## BACKGROUND. When a change of opioid is considered, equianalgesic dose tables are used. These tables generally propose a dose ratio of 5:l between morphine and hydromorphone. In the case of a change from subcutaneous hydromorphone to methadone, dose ratios ranging from 1:6 to 1:10 are proposed.

## Background: Current equianalgesic reference tables, based largely on single dose studies, give dose ratios of 1:1 to 4:1 for oral morphine to oral methadone, which possibly are inaccurate in patients with cancer pain who are exposed to multiple doses of these opioids. the purpose of this study w
