[cancercured] Pain Meds /was: Need Input ( of mice and/or men???? )

Could this be true for other pain medications.
I try to tolarate the pain, since I feel it tells me how I am doing.
But then they are certain days - I just take Advil.

"Despite the widespread use of morphine to treat pain in many medical
conditions like cancer, little was known about how this drug affects blood vessels or cancer," says Gupta. "Our study shows that morphine stimulates the formation of new blood vessels inside the tumor, which in turn allows increased growth of tumors in mice." Gupta cautions that there is currently no scientific data that indicates morphine or similar pain medications will lead to increased growth of cancers in humans.
