Platinum-based chemotherapy agents for lung cancer may increase the risk for thromboembolism.
No Benefit to Extensive Cancer Screening in Unprovoked Venous Thromboembolism
Although unprovoked VTE may be a sign of occult cancer, results of a meta-analysis showed no benefit to extensive cancer screening in these patients.
Tissue Factor May Predict for Recurrent VTE in Patients Receiving Anticoagulants
An evaluation of the association of tissue factor, clinical risk factors, and other biomarkers measured at the time of initial VTE with recurrent VTE helps determine their predictive value for patients at high risk.
