This article aims to make visible a common non-oncologic pain condition in cancer patients. Myofascial pain syndrome can generate an increase in the symptomatic burden of the oncologic patient, increase the demand for opioid medication, and decrease the quality of life. We consider that health professionals involved in the care of cancer patients in its different stages should be aware of it, diagnose it, and treat it early to avoid processes of pain chronification, peripheral tissue modification, and deterioration of the functional condition of patients with oncologic diseases.
