title: [Comparison of diflunisal and tilidine in tumor pain].
abstract: In an open study in patients with tumour-induced pain the analgetic effects of the prostaglandin-inhibiting compound diflunisal and the centrally-acting analgetic tilidine N were compared. A dosage of 1 g diflunisal was found to be equivalent to 50 drops of tilidine N and to be subjectively well-tolerated. In the pain-relieving therapy of tumour patients diflunisal appears to offer a genuine alternative to centrally-acting analgetics.
