From 1976 to 1980,18 of the 250 patients (7%) seen with small cell carcinoma of the lung had clinically evident inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Hyponatremia was usually severe (1 16 f 7 meq/l), and eight patients showed symptoms of water intoxication at the time of diagnosis.
Most effective treatment regimens for advanced nonseminomatous testis tumors (NSIT) employ vinblastine (V), cisplatin (CDDP), and bleomycin (B) and adjunctive surgery. The toxicity of many of these multidrug programs, primarily from vinblastine-induced myelosuppression has resulted in significant pa
