Abstract

Chronic cancer pain is one of the most common symptoms affecting oncology patients and cancer survivors. Epidemiological trends show that its recognition and management are increasingly important. The ICD-11 provides a better analysis of this problem based on the pathophysiological characteristics of cancer-related pain. This article proposes to review the mechanisms of cancer-related pain in relation to this classification.
