Abstract Patients with moderate to severe malignancy-related pain frequently require the use of opioid pharmacotherapy. Unfortunately many cancer patients continue to be prescribed subtherapeutic doses of pain medications resulting in undo suffering and diminished quality of life. The choice of analgesic pharmacotherapy should be individualized and based on the intensity and etiology of pain reported by the patient. Health care providers must be able to readily quantify the relative analgesic potency when converting from one opioid to another or from one route of administration to another. Transdermal fentanyl is effective and well tolerated pharmacotherapy for the cancer pain patients. However clinicians need to be cognizant that the U.S. U.K. manufacturer s recommendations for equilalagesic dosing of transdermal fentanyl may result in initial doses that produce subtherapeutic levels and unrelieved pain in some patients. A more aggressive dosing algorithm for transdermal fentanyl using a 2 1 mg day of oral morphine mcg hr of transdermal fentanyl conversion ratio that considers both a review of the literature and clinical experience should help clinicians individualize .
