ESMO China Voice | Dr. Cheng Huang & Dr. Rongbo Lin: Global First Evidence Shows IV IPCA Outperforms Oral Morphine for Severe Cancer Pain, Potentially Changing Guidelines and Transforming Pain Management

The 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting was held in Barcelona, Spain. A Phase III randomized controlled trial (SYLT-021), led by Dr. Rongbo Lin’s team from the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology, Fujian Cancer Hospital, was selected as one of six Proffered Paper oral presentations in the palliative care session. This study compared hydromorphone intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IPCA) with oral morphine for severe cancer pain management.
