[Pain related to head and neck cancers during disease progression].
Head and neck cancers can be revealed by pain symptoms caused by an excess of nociception. Other pain sometimes occurs during the cancer's progression such as neuropathic or mixed pain. These should incite the clinician to be watchful so as not to miss recurrence of the cancer. Treatment is complex, requiring management by a multidisciplinary team.
