An esophageal cancer patient with bilateral lungs and neck lymph nodes metastases received 24 mg of vincristine instead of vinblastine because of the similarity between the two names, and survived multiorgan derangement. Serious states of central and peripheral neuropathy with muscle atrophy, gastrointestinal disorder, bone marrow suppression and mucocutaneous involvement were all encountered. Although hypotension and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) were not observed as vincristine's side actions, toxicity to the myocardium, which has not been documented, was suggested in our case. These toxic impairments, however, subsided clinically within a month, except for paresthesia in the peripheral extremities. The effectiveness of the chemotherapy was remarkable against both the esophageal cancer and the metastatic lesions. No unintentional overdose of a drug, needless to say, should happen, and in order to minimize its possibility, it would be advisable for chemotherapy to be administered only by an experienced physician who is able to check the dose and concentration.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of elevation of plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) level during surgery and the relationship between urinary volume and plasma ADH level by measuring plasma ADH level of patients undergoing operation for esophageal cancer. The results obtained were as follows: The plasma ADH level was 4.0 pg/ml before surgery, 59 pg/ml after skin incision, 190 pg/ml after thoracotomy, and 276 pg/ml after vagotomy (right esophageal branch). Elevation of the plasma ADH level was partially suppressed by epidural analgesia combined with GOF anesthesia. The main factors that elevate plasma ADH level during surgery were pain at the skin incision, the manipulation of the pleura and vagotomy. The plasma ADH level was high (114 pg/ml) just after surgery and decreased to a normal level (4.3 pg/ml) in the morning of the 2nd postoperative day. Urinary volume was 74 ml/h before surgery, 95 ml/h just after surgery and 40 ml/h in the morning of the 1st postoperative day, and then, continued to gradual increase. There was no correlation between urinary volume and plasma ADH level during surgery until the 1st postoperative day. Elevation of plasma ADH level was not a primary factor of oliguiria during and just after surgery.

A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. On the third postoperative day, she developed polyuria (3.8 L/day), massive natriuresis, hyponatremia (112 mEq/L), hyperkalemia (5.6 mEq/L), and decreased central venous pressure, which was refractory to isotonic saline infusion. Laboratory findings indicated proximal tubular injury (high urinary beta2-microglobulin, coexistence of hypouricemia) together with reduced aldosterone action at the cortical collecting duct. A diagnosis of salt-losing nephropathy was made and sodium correction was done with 3% saline and fludrocortisone. She responded well to therapy. The cause of hyponatremia was considered renal tubular dysfunction together with elevated antidiuretic hormone level. Postoperatively, it is important to look for the development of salt-losing nephropathy.

A 77-year-old male with thoracic esophageal cancer (cT3N3M0, Stage III) received nedaplatin at 80mg/m2 for 1 day and 5-fluorouracil at 800mg/m2 for 5 days as neoadjuvant treatment. On the fifth day of treatment, he lapsed into a coma (Japan Coma Scale 30), and his serum sodium concentration was found to be decreased to 116mEq/L. We concluded hyponatremia due to SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone) induced by chemotherapy based on the fact that the patient had no finding of dehydration, particular history of related disorders, serum hypoosmolality accompanied by urine hyperosmolality and persistent urinary sodium excretion. We treated him with fluid restriction, sodium supplement and administration of loop diuretic. Then he regained consciousness and appropriate serum sodium level. Thereafter, hyponatremia was corrected without recurrence, and the patient underwent radical esophagectomy safely. He has been in good condition without recurrence of esophageal cancer after surgery.

A case of hyponatremia following the first course of systemic adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin (CDDP) and 5-FU in a previously treated patient with esophageal cancer is reported. A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for adjuvant chemotherapy after transthoracic esophagectomy and 3-field lymphadenectomy for esophageal cancer. Six days following chemotherapy, his serum sodium concentration was found to be 118 mEq/L, without edema or dehydration. This hyponatremic state was diagnosed as the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) induced by CDDP, based on the hypo-osmolality of his serum and urine, and an inappropriate level of plasma vasopressin.

We report a case of consciousness disorder following the fourth course of chemotherapy with cisplatin (CDDP) and 5- fluorouracil (5-FU) in a patient with esophageal cancer. A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital to receive chemotherapy for esophageal cancer. Six days after chemotherapy, the patient showed impaired consciousness and his serum sodium concentration was found to be 125 mEq/L, but no edema or dehydration was noted. This hyponatremic state was diagnosed as CDDP-induced syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) on the basis of serum and urine hypo-osmolality. Accordingly, fluid intake was restricted and sodium supplements were administered, resulting in an appropriate increase in the serum sodium concentration to 132 mEq/L in 4 days.
