Treatment for SVCS depends on the underlying cause and severity of the symptoms. Options include:
Corticosteroids: These can reduce inflammation and swelling around the SVC. Diuretics: Used to decrease fluid buildup. Radiation therapy: Effective for shrinking tumors pressing on the SVC. Chemotherapy: Often used for cancers such as lymphoma or small cell lung cancer. Endovascular stenting: A minimally invasive procedure to place a stent in the SVC to keep it open. Surgery: In rare cases, surgical intervention might be necessary to remove the obstructing mass.
