Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for cancer pain in adults.

CONCLUSIONS: There is no high-quality evidence to support or refute the use of NSAIDs alone or in combination with opioids for the three steps of the three-step WHO cancer pain ladder. There is very low-quality evidence that some people with moderate or severe cancer pain can obtain substantial levels of benefit within one or two weeks.
