Cancer seems to thrive on exposure to opioids, particularly morphine, the most widely used narcotic for relief of surgical pain. In the presence of these drugs tumors grow faster and develop more extensive networks of the blood vessels they rely on to feed their expansion?a process called angiogenesis, says Jonathan Moss, an anesthesiologist at the University of Chicago (U. of C.) Medical Center.
