WHO has provided a three-step "ladder" for pain
relief in cancer patients. According the the WHO pain ladder, in the patients with cancer the pain is controlled by prompt oral administration of
drugs in the following order:
Non-opioids (aspirin and paracetamol)
Mild opioids (codeine)
Strong opioids such as morphine, until the patient is free of pain
