Abstract

A 60-year-old male patient presented to our clinic with metastatic (bone and bone marrow) prostate cancer. Radiotherapy (RT) with a total of 30 Gy was planned in 10 fractions for the painful left shoulder region. On the 6th day of RT, urinary output decreased suddenly and dyspnea developed. Laboratory findings suggested tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). The patient, who showed improvement in overall status and had no requirement for hemodialysis up to this time, developed sudden impairment in overall status, dyspnea, and hypotension on the 11th day of follow-up. Thirty minutes after the development of these symptoms, the patient had a cardiopulmonary arrest and died. At the time of writing this was the fourth case of TLS during RT for solid tumors in adults, the first case of TLS during RT for prostate cancer and the fifth among total cases of prostate cancer in published reports.
