    Author: Turk HM, Camci C, Buyukberber S, Tuncozgur B, Sivrikoz C, Elbeyli L, Sari I.
    Journal: J Chemother; 2002 Aug; 14(4):417-9. PubMed ID: 12420862.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 51-year old man with small cell lung cancer who developed superior vena cava syndrome due to obstruction of the superior vena cava at the junction of the brachiocephalic vein by a fibrotic band, 2 months after completing six cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposid. Superior vena cava syndrome caused by chemotherapy-induced pulmonary fibrosis should be kept in mind during follow-up.
