Breakthrough cancer pain (BTCP) is a common occurrence in cancer patients that can be treated by a number of immediate-release (IR) opioids, some of which are specifically labeled for this use (i.e., IR fentanyl). However, the predominant use of breakthrough pain products, particularly the IR fentanyls, is off-label for noncancer pain-related diagnoses.
