Paliative radiotherapy performed to all 3 cases because of symptoms like hemoptysis, VCSS and total atelectasis. 2 of 3 died because of massive hemoptysis 1 month after completion of radical dose, the other one?s radical dose can not be completed. 3 cases evaluated with the litarature for the factors contributed to fatal hemoptysis.

Abstract

Hemoptysis which is frequently seen in lung cancer can be massive or fatal rarely. Massive hemoptysis after endobronchial radiotherapy frequently reported in the literature whereas cases with massive and fatal hemoptysis related to external radiotherapy are a few in number. Squamous type, necrosis, effects of external radiotherapy on necrosis and pulmonary vessels, infections are suggested as the reasons for fatal hemoptysis reported in the literature other than endobronchial radiotherapy. Our 3 cases died because of fatal hemoptysis. 2 had nonsmall cell lung cancer, 1 had squamous cell lung cancer. Paliative radiotherapy performed to all 3 cases because of symptoms like hemoptysis, VCSS and total atelectasis. 2 of 3 died because of massive hemoptysis 1 month after completion of radical dose, the other one?s radical dose can not be completed. 3 cases evaluated with the litarature for the factors contributed to fatal hemoptysis.

Özet

Akciğer kanserli olgularda, hemoptizi sık görülmekte, bazen massif, nadiren de fatal olabilmektedir.Endobronşiyal radyoterapiyi takiben gelişen massif hemoptizi olguları literatürde sıkça bildirilmesine karşın, eksternal radyoterapinin olası etkisine ilişkin massif ve fatal hemoptizi olguları oldukça az sayıdadır. Fatal hemoptizi ile kaybedilen ve literatürde nadir olarak bildirilen olgular vardır. Endobronşiyal radyoterapi dışında, fatal hemoptizi nedeni olarak squamöz tip, nekroz gelişimi, eksternal radyoterapinin nekroz ve akciğer damarları üzerine etkisi ve enfeksiyonlar da ilişkili bulunmuştur.Bizim de, 3 olgumuz fatal hemoptizi ile kaybedildi. 2 olgu, küçükhücreli dışı, bir olgu squamöz hücreli karsinom idi. 3 olguya da, hemoptizi, vena cava süperior sendromu ve total atelektazi gibi palyasyon gerektiren semptomları nedeniyle palyatif radyoterapi başlandı. 3 olgudan ikisi, radikal doz tamamlandıktan yaklaşık 1 ay sonra, biri ise radikal doz tamamlanmadan, fatal hemoptizi ile kaybedildiler. 3 olgu, başta eksternal radyoterapi olmak üzere fatal hemoptiziye katkıda bulunan olası faktörler açısından literatür eşliğinde sunuldu.
