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.

La douleur chronique liée au cancer est l’un des symptômes les plus fréquents chez les patients oncologiques et survivants d’un cancer. L’évolution épidémiologique montre que sa reconnaissance et sa prise en charge représentent des enjeux grandissants. La CIM-11 (Classification internationale des maladies) permet une meilleure analyse de cette problématique en se basant sur les caractéristiques physiopathologiques de la douleur liée au cancer. Cet article propose de rappeler, à la lumière de cette classification, les mécanismes de la douleur associée à un cancer.
