Analgesic efficacy of fentanyl patch for terminal stage patients with oral cancer

we evaluated the analgesic efficacy of fentanyl patches for terminal stage patients with oral cancer. In all cases (two cases of tongue cancer, one of gingival cancer, and one of soft palate cancer), we could assess effectiveness. We consider fentanyl patches to be a useful analgesic with high and continued effectiveness against pain in terminal stage patients with oral cancer.
