    AbstractAbdominal cancer is commonly associated with pain needing medical attention. Effective pain management is available to control pain. Oral opioids are the foundation of analgesic therapy. With adequate implementation of therapeutic guidelines into clinical practice including the use of co-analgesics, adjuvants and non-pharmacological treatment options the quality of life of abdominal cancer patients can be considerably improved. Only in a minority of patients with refractory pain more sophisticated options of pain management will be necessary, e. g., epidural, intrathecal or neurolytic techniques. In this situation the consultation of a pain therapist is recommended.
