What causes hyponatremia in cancer patients?

Hyponatremia may occur due to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), often associated with small cell lung cancer. It can also result from medications, fluid overload, or gastrointestinal losses. Treatment includes fluid restriction, salt tablets, and addressing the underlying cause.
