These guidelines are a result of the Expert Working Group on Opioids of the EAPC Research Network, which first met in Sicily in 1992 and produced an earlier publication: Morphine in cancer pain: modes of administration. BMJ 1996; 312: 823-826.
Because of the success of that publication and its widespread distribution the Expert Working Group met again and up-dated it and extended its recommendations to cover the use of alternatives to morphine whice were published in 2001 in the British Journal of Cancer 2001; 84: 587–593. You can download these recommendations hereunder.
EAPC distributed reprints in English to the EAPC members and has obtained the right to publish the English, French, German, Italian and Swedish version on its website. Which you can also access hereunder.
