Abstrakt:	Prolonged survival in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma and superior vena cava syndrome is rare. One patient with this syndrome due to epidermoid carcinoma of the lung has survived 10 years following radiation therapy. Occasional patients with superior vena cava syndrome due to lung carcinoma may have long periods of disease-free survival. Therefore, curative radiation therapy is indicated for this condition.
