Pain is one of the most serious manifestations of an advanced stage of cancer disease. In the palliative care setting, chronic pain is encountered also in patients in the terminal stage of other diseases; however, the greatest proportion of patients suffering from chronic pain are among those with tumour-related pain. Since pain substantially affects the quality of life of incurably ill patients, it may certainly be a common reason for visiting a general practitioner with a request for pain relief. The article presents an overview of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options.

Keywords: cancer pain, palliative care, opioids, cannabinoids for medical use, break-through pain, opioid-induced constipation.
