Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious risk for cancer patients, with chemotherapy significantly increasing this danger. This review examines VTE causes in malignancy, focusing on chemotherapy and other cancer treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Thrombosis

Background:

  • Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life-threatening complication in cancer patients, significantly worsening prognosis.
  • Chemotherapy is an increasingly recognized independent risk factor for VTE in malignancy.
  • Other anti-neoplastic and supportive therapies also elevate VTE risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on VTE in malignancy.
  • To specifically examine the association between chemotherapy and VTE.
  • To discuss other cancer-related treatments linked to VTE.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pertinent studies.
  • Analysis of clinical trials and basic science research.
  • Synthesis of current understanding of VTE mechanisms in cancer.

Main Results:

  • VTE incidence in cancer patients is high, with poor survival rates.
  • Chemotherapy increases VTE risk, with rates up to 20% or higher depending on drug type.
  • Multiple cancer therapies contribute to a prothrombotic state.

Conclusions:

  • VTE is a critical concern in cancer care.
  • Understanding the mechanisms of chemotherapy-induced VTE is crucial.
  • Further research is needed to mitigate VTE risk in cancer patients.
