Exemptions to state laws regulating opioid prescribing for patients with cancer‐related pain: A summary

Cancer‐related pain is highly prevalent and is commonly treated with prescription opioids. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now encourages conservative opioid prescribing in recognition of potential opioid‐related risks. However, CDC guidelines have been misapplied to patients with cancer. Recent laws at the state level reflect the CDC's guidance by limiting opioid prescribing. It is unclear whether states exempt cancer‐related pain, which may affect cancer pain management. Thus, the objective of this study was to summarize current state‐level opioid prescribing laws and exemptions for patients with cancer.
