Abstract
|
|
|
|
Most of superior vena cava syndrome are caused by malignant tumors involving the mediastinum (usually lung cancer or lymphoma). However, iatrogenic cause has become more important since it has become common to utilize long-term central venous catheters for chemotherapy or hyperalimentation therapy. Although the cancer patients are also at relatively high risk, there are only few case reports of superior vena cava syndrome in gynecologic cancer. We present a case of iatrogenic superior vena cava syndrome related with Hickman catheter in advanced cervical cancer patient treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
