Development of addiction to intranasal fentanyl in a cancer patient
Original language description
The following case report describes the long-term comprehensive care of a patient with metastatic diffuse gastric cancer. In addition to chemotherapy, supportive care was especially important for the treatment of chronic abdominal pain, ileus, malnutrition, and iatrogen-induced addiction to intranasal opiates. The patient was in the parallel care of an oncologist and a nutritionist. Pain management was provided by the pain management centre and a psychiatrist. Because of the lack of information about opiate addiction in cancer patients, we had to cooperate very closely with specialists in pain management and addiction treatment. However, this intensive comprehensive care had only a partial effect. The daily dose of intranasal fentanyl in our patient was several times higher than the recommended maximum and relief from pain was only short and partial. This specific issue receives little attention in the literature. Nowadays, we have several new medication options and forms of application. Taking this into account, it will be very important to develop new recommendations for pain management in the near future.
