A 12-yeаr-оld girl with аcute lymphоblаstic leukemia receives chemоtherapy induction with vincristine, prednisone, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin. She receives 1.5x maintenance fluids during her induction and receives ondansetron for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Five days after administration of chemotherapy, she appears slightly edematous, and her blood pressure rises to 135/90 mm Hg from its baseline of 115/75 mm Hg. She appears drowsy and has a tonic clonic seizure. Serum laboratory values drawn at the time of the convulsion are as follows: sodium 112 mEq/L; potassium 4.2 mEq/L; chloride 85 mEq/L; bicarbonate 22 mEq/L; and osmolarity 260 mOsm/L. Urine laboratory values are as follows: sodium 80 mEq/L and osmolarity 600 mOsm/L. What is the most likely cause of her hyponatremia?
