Please read the full article/discussion. Many questions were asked and responses given which may be helpful for many.
Over the last week Reuters, ABC news, MSNBC, BBC News, and more than 75 other outlets reported on how two "two new studies add to growing evidence that morphine and other opiate-based painkillers may promote the growth and spread of cancer cells." What was most shocking were the headlines used to promote the stories:
* Morphine 'might spread cancer' (BBC News)
* Morphine May Help Tumors Spread in Cancer Patients (US News and World Reports)
* Pain drug morphine may accelerate cancer growth (Reuters, ABC News)
* Common Pain Relief Medication May Encourage Cancer Growth (Science Daily)
What may not be clear from the snippet clipped here is that the headlines may not really be telling the whole truth. I encourage your readers to read the full GeriPal post including the comments.
