[Treatment concept of tumor-induced maxillofacial pain].
From 1987 to 1989 forty-six patients with primary or recurrent maxillofacial tumors which could not be treated curatively came to our clinic because they suffered for facial pain. Their treatment was carried out in cooperation with the pain clinic of the department of anesthesiology. In 8 patients causal therapy with palliative chemotherapy primarily carried out on an outpatient basis was successful. In the other patients oral application of opiates was the therapy of choice. In only few cases invasive techniques were required to relieve facial pain.
