    AbstractThe sequence of analgesic therapy for cancer pain should follow the WHO ladder regimen. Managing cancer pain with drug therapy provides the best results for the patients by using the combination of opioids, NSAIDs, and adjuvant analgesics. The selection or the combination of the drugs depends on the intensity, quality, and other characteristics of the pain. When the cancer pain is classified as neuropathic pain, we should use antidepressants, anticonvulsants, anxiolytics, or/and anti-arrhythmic drug.
