Abstract:
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication associated with increased mortality in cancer patients. Adequate treatment of thrombotic complications increases survival in these patients although additional complications such as thrombus progression with pulmonary embolism and bleeding events are common. The incidence of types of cancer as well as malignancy-associated VTE varies between genders. This article focuses on cancers more common in male patients and reviews the risk of VTE with special regard to types of cancer and anticancer therapy.
