RESUMO

A dor é um sintoma muito frequente no universo do doente oncológico e é, seguramente,um dos principals factores que comprometem a qualidade de vida destes doentes.

No entanto, a análise dos dados demonstra que continua a ser, na maioria dos casos, inadequadamente tratada.

No presente trabalho são discutidos os aspectos referentes à terapêutica da dôr oncológica, analisando os mecanismos farmacocinéticos e farmacodinâmicos e tecendo considerações sobre as regras de prescrição dos analgésicos segundo a abordagem proposta pela OMS.

Palavras-chave:
