Abstract

Objective To discuss the treatment of Lung Cancer induced SVCS.Methods 32 cases of such patients were observed.Among them,25 cases were treated with chemotherapy,3 cases radiotherapy and 4 case adopted comprehensive treatment.Results It takes 2 to 21 days to relieve symptoms.CR was 15.6%,PR was 59.4%,NC was 15.6% and PD was 9.4%.Total efficient was 75%,Symptoms was relieved by chemotherapy for 4 cases and radiotherapy for 3 cases.Conclusion It makes SVCS tumor decreased rapidly by chemotherapy and radiotherapy,pressure symptoms disappeared fast,the effect was good.The method might be one of the best treatment for SVCS.
