Oral morphine in advanced cancer / Robert G. Twycross and Sylvia A. Lack.

"The regular use of morphine by mouth has done much to improve the management of pain in far-advanced cancer. Yet, despite an increasing awareness of the basic principles of use, many doctors and nurses are not fully familiar with the many considerations to be taken into account when initiating morphine therapy. It is our hope that this short guide will help the physician and nurse to utilize a well-tried treatment more effectively."--From preface.
