The gold standard for tumor-associated chronic pain is multimodal therapy. Non-adherence causes high costs and may put patients at risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the adherence behavior and subjective treatment compliance of patients with tumor-associated chronic pain. The focus was on the patients' perspective.

Adherence factors known from previous research were reflected in the subjective perception of the group of patients with chronic pain after tumor diseases.
