Patients with advanced disease often present with multiple symptoms that require proper assessment and management. Understanding the underlying causes and following a systematic approach can help in palliating irreversible symptoms and reversing reversible ones. This includes using appropriate analgesics, such as opioids, for effective pain management. The WHO Analgesic Ladder is a useful guide in selecting the right opioid based on the type and severity of pain. Additionally, being aware of opioid adverse effects and toxicity is crucial in ensuring safe and effective treatment. Addressing specific symptoms, such as neuropathic pain and dyspnoea, may require a tailored approach combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.
