Pain is an important symptom that accompanies cancer disease. Cancer pain is a chronic pain of medium to strong intensity, and it usually seriously impairs the quality of life of the cancer patients. In dogs and cats, the management of cancer pain includes drugs from different pharmacological groups. They are non-opioid and opioid analgesics, NMDA antagonists, anticonvulsant drugs, tricyclic antidepressants and steroids. Some of them are registered for use in veterinary medicine, and some are drugs for use in human medicine.
