Effect of hyperthermia combined with opioids on cancer pain control and surgical stress in patients with gastrointestinal cancer
Our findings showed that hyperthermia combined with opioids is effective in controlling cancer pain in patients with middle and late stage gastrointestinal tumors. Furthermore, this method can reduce the dosage of opioids used and minimize potential adverse drug reactions, reduce the patient's surgical palliative surgical stress response, and shorten the overall postoperative recovery time required.
