Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Cancer pain remains a major public health issue. Despite progress in pain medicine thanks to the interest shown in early and timely supportive care, more than half the patients managed for cancer are in pain. One of the key factors in high quality multidisciplinary management throughout the care pathway is to assess more than just pain: it is necessary to assess the patient as a whole. Understanding the complexity of cancer pain - or the various types of pain - through the innovative multimorphic cancer pain model, effectively opens up new perspectives for a targeted, personalised, and multimodal approach. The subsequent treatment strategies, whether drug-based with opioids, or interventional, are codified by guidelines based on scientific evidence for the healthcare professionals and, ultimately, patients.
