    1. Urgent treatment for neoplasm consists of (1) cautious use of intravenous diuretics and (2) mediastinal irradiation, starting within 24 hours, with a treatment plan designed to give a high daily dose of radiation but a short total course of therapy to rapidly shrink the local tumor. Intensive radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy will palliate the process in up to 90% of patients. In patients with a subacute presentation, radiation therapy alone usually suffices. Chemotherapy is added if lymphoma or small-cell carcinoma is diagnosed

      endovascular stenting emerging as first-line therapy for rapid symptom relief, while definitive treatment targets the underlying cause

      Glucocorticoids (dexamethasone 4 mg every 6 hours) are commonly prescribed but lack robust supporting data; they may be more beneficial in lymphoma or thymoma and as prophylaxis against radiation-induced edema. [2-4] Importantly, SVC syndrome is no longer considered a medical emergency except in rare cases with life-threatening cerebral edema, laryngeal edema, or altered mental status. When thrombosis is present, catheter-directed thrombolysis or aspiration thrombectomy should be performed within 2-5 days of symptom onset before thrombus organization occurs. [3] The role of long-term anticoagulation after stenting remains unclear, though it is standard when significant thrombosis is present The American College of Chest Physicians recommends obtaining histologic diagnosis before treatment in suspected lung cancer cases, as stenting does not interfere with tissue diagnosis. [2] For small cell lung cancer (SCLC), chemotherapy alone is recommended as first-line treatment given rapid response rates. [2] For non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), radiation therapy and/or stent insertion are recommended, with response rates of 59% for chemotherapy and 63% for radiation therapy. [2] Patients with chemotherapy- or radiation-refractory disease should receive vascular stents For device-related thrombosis (catheters, pacemakers), catheter removal should be considered in conjunction with anticoagulation. [4] Endovascular therapy is first-line for device-related obstruction, while surgical bypass may be preferred for mediastinal fibrosis. [7] Both approaches show good mid-term patency, though secondary interventions are common (approximately 27-28%

    1. i was just banned from reddit for 3 days for "threatening violence" in this comment

      you have to be really stupid (or evil) to interpret this comment as "threatening violence". but well, nothing new. hate maintainers, hate moderators, hate admins, ...

      Kinda crazy that something that every body does is taken away from them and they shut up and obey like they are the government's property or something.

      because people ARE property of the government

      if i would own my children, then i could kill them, just like i can kill my dog. but "my" children are property of the government, and if i "hurt" my children, or if i teach the "wrong" things to my children, then police bust my door, steal my children, throw me in jail, and put my children into a "normal" family

      you sound young, maybe 20. im 30, and i have some experience in this field... im officially labelled as "unfit for educating children" because of my radical views

      here is the ban message:

      Hi milahu2,

      Reddit is a vast network of communities that are created, run, and populated by people like you. In order to keep communities welcoming, safe, and great places to be, everyone who uses the platform operates by a shared set of rules.

      After reviewing, we found that you broke Rule 1 because you threatened violence or physical harm. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for threatening violence against people or animals. We don’t tolerate any behavior that threatens violence or physical harm against an individual, groups of people, places, or animals. Any communities or people that threaten violence towards an individual, group, animals, or place will be banned.

      As a result, we’re issuing a temporary 3-day ban on your milahu2 account, removing the violating content, and asking you not to break this rule again.

      Reddit and its communities are only what we make of them together, and we want you to continue enjoying Reddit while helping your fellow redditors and communities stay safe. We suggest reading and getting acquainted with Reddit’s Content Policy. A better understanding of these rules will help you avoid further actions from our admin team. If you do continue to break Reddit’s rules through this or any other Reddit account, you may face additional actions such as a permanent ban from the platform.

      If you feel like you didn’t break the rules, you can file an appeal any time within the next six months and we’ll take a second look.
