[Morphine sulfate per os combined with octreotide in continuous peridural therapy in oncologic pain. Description of a clinical case]

Abstract

The authors emphasize the analgesic synergy of the association of morphina sulphate per os and octreotide in continuous epidural therapy in a patient affected by a late prostatic cancer with diffuse skeletal metastases. They, moreover, support cenesthesia regulating and, perhaps, antiproliferative activity of octreotide. A few patients treated with octreotide in continuous epidural therapy showed neurological diseases of behaviour.
