Paraneoplastic syndromes are frequently observed in lung cancer, especially in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Although there have been many reports on paraneoplastic syndromes, few reports have been published on SCLC that simultaneously produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and these reports described the prognosis of such cases as extremely poor. We herein present a rare case of a Japanese woman with SCLC accompanied by syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and Cushing's syndrome. The survival of the patient was prolonged by the long-term administration of amrubicin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
