title: [Pain therapy in patients with gynecologic tumors. Analysis of ambulatory pain management].
abstract: In a retrospective study efficacy and side-effects of long-term pain management of 58 patients with gynaecological cancer were analysed. Pathophysiological changes of the underlying tumor determined the choice of pain therapy. In more than 90% sufficient analgesia was obtained with tolerable side-effects. When patients became unable to swallow oral medication or showed intolerable side-effects, continuous subcutaneous or epidural opioid administration by means of lightweight disposable infusors proofed to be an efficient alternative in pain therapy.
