Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in Cancer Patients;a Multicenter Prospective Registry - Cancer-VTE Registry

The cumulative incidences of symptomatic VTE, bleeding, and all-cause death one year after enrollment were 0.5%, 1.4%, and 12.2%, respectively. Symptomatic VTE was more common in patients with pancreatic cancer and patients with Stage IV disease regardless of cancer type. Patients with VTE before initiation of cancer treatment, even asymptomatic distal DVT, had a higher risk of subsequent symptomatic VTE, bleeding, and all-cause death.
