Tumor lysis syndrome is a specific side effect of leukemia therapy that occurs when there is a rapid breakdown of leukemia cells caused by chemotherapy drugs. The cells split apart and release cell fragments, metabolic byproducts, and minerals into the bloodstream.
Chemotherapy for Small Cell Lung Cancer Chemotherapy (chemo) is treatment with anti-cancer drugs injected into a vein or taken by mouth. These drugs enter the bloodstream and go throughout the body, making this treatment useful for cancer anywhere in the body. When might chemotherapy be used? Chemo is typically part of the treatment for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). This is because SCLC has usually already spread by the time it is found (even if the spread canât be seen on imaging tests), so other treatments such as surgery or radiation therapy would not reach all areas of cancer. 1  For people with limited stage SCLC, chemo is often given along with radiation therapy.
