Abstract
Cancer pain relief is a public health problem. A WHO method has been developed, which provides for drugs to be administered immediately if there is pain, to be given "by the clock" rather than "on demand" and to be increased from nonopioids to weak opioids and then to strong opioids until the patient is free from pain.
