What are the different types of pain that can affect animals with cancer?
The pain can be acute or chronic, or both, and is multidimensional in nature. It can be somatic or visceral and generally involves inflammatory and neuropathic components. The pain is only caused by the tumor itself. The pain is more severe with tumors that affect non-distensible tissues such as bone or when there is a neuropathic pain component.
