Overview
Brief Summary
Pulmonary embolism, the second leading cause of death in cancer patients, is effectively treated with anticoagulants. In patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), the use of anticoagulants is associated with 10 to 15% of bleeding in the first 6 months. Most of the guidelines propose to integrate the bleeding risk in the choice of therapies. Thrombin generation assay (TGA) reflects an overall hemostatic response and could be a useful biomarker. Proven on the thrombotic side in the CAT population, useful in the assessment of the bleeding risk of hemophiliac patients, the TGA is emerging as a tool. The investigators to measure TGA in cancer patients included prospectively, having recently developed a CAT and to evaluate the association between the measurement and the risk of hemorrhagic complication under anticoagulant during the first 6 month of treatment.
Detailed Description
Pulmonary embolism, the second leading cause of death in cancer patients, is effectively treated with anticoagulants. In patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), the use of anticoagulants is associated with 10 to 15% of bleeding in the first 6 months. Most of the guidelines propose to integrate the bleeding risk in the choice of therapies. Existing models for predicting anticoagulant associated bleeding risk applied to the CAT patients are not very predictive (AUC\<0.60). Thrombin generation assay (TGA) reflects an overall hemostatic response and could be a useful biomarker. Proven on the thrombotic side in the CAT population, useful in the assessment of the bleeding risk of hemophiliac patients, the TGA is emerging as a tool. The investigators wish to measure TGA in cancer patients included prospectively, having recently developed a CAT and to evaluate the association between the measurement and the risk of hemorrhagic complication under anticoagulant during the first 6 month of treatment.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients participating in a therapeutic clinical trial with a blinded therapy or an open-label therapeutic trial who are included in the experimental treatment group.

- •Hematological malignancies
- •Patients with a contraindication to anticoagulant treatment on inclusion
