RESUMO

A Sindrome da Vcia Cava Superior (SVCS) estágeralmente associada a doença oncológica avançada, apresentando um mau prognóistico.

Esta sindrome com uma apresentação clinica aguda ou subaguda, pode requerer uma intervenção imediata.

A radioterapia tem um papel primordial no tratamento paliativo da SVCS, obtendo alivio sintomático na maior parte dos casos.

Os autores analisam 20 casos de SVCS, tratados no Departamento de Radioterapia do Instituto Português de Oncologia de Francisco Gentil – Centro do Porto, no period compreendido entre Janeiro de 1984 e Outubro de 1997.

ABSTRACT

The Superior Vena Cava Syndrome (SVCS) is usually associated with advanced malignancy and has a dismal prognosis.

This syndrome can be an acute or subacute event, that may require prompt intervention.

Radiotherapy is a potent modality in the palliative treatment of SVCS with a significant reduction in symptoms in the majority of cases.

The authors analyse 20 cases of SVCS treated between January 1984 and October 1997, in the Department of Radiotherapy of the Instituto Português de Oncologia de Francisco Gentil-Cenlro do Porto.
