MG30.1

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Chronic cancer related pain

Description

Chronic cancer-related pain is pain caused by the primary cancer itself or metastases (chronic cancer pain) or its treatment (chronic post-cancer treatment pain). It is distinct from pain caused by co-morbid disease [1-3]. It should be highly probable that the pain is due to cancer or its treatment; if its genesis is vague, consider using codes in the section of Primary pain.

Coding note from above levels

This code should be used if a pain condition persists or recurs for longer than 3 months.
