“Have you seen our new MASCC-American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)-American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine-Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association-NICSO guideline on opioid conversion in adults with cancer?
The guidelines cover pre-conversion assessments, strategies for conversion, and post-conversion assessments, with the goal of reducing the relative risk of overdosing or under-dosing opioids when converting from one opioid to another or converting administration routes.
