ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To provide procedure-specific estimates of the risk of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) and major bleeding, in the absence of thromboprophylaxis, following gynecologic cancer surgery. DATA SOURCES: We conducted comprehensive searches on Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for observational studies. We also reviewed reference lists of eligible studies and review articles. We performed separate searches for randomized trials addressing effects of thromboprophylaxis and conducted a web-based survey on thromboprophylaxis practice. S... más información

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant contributor to mortality in patients with cancer. Although anticoagulation serves as the cornerstone of treatment for cancer-associated PE, it has not been emphasized in real-world settings. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of suboptimal anticoagulant treatment on the prognosis of cancer-associated PE. METHODS: A cohort of 356 individuals newly diagnosed with acute PE were enrolled. The primary outcome of the study was recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), and the secondary outcomes were all-cause morta... más información

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The way in which to prevent recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an unmet clinical need in cancer patients. International guidelines only provide conditional recommendations and do not specify which anticoagulant and dose should be used. In the last 2 years, we have been using low-dose rivaroxaban to prevent VTE recurrences in cancer patients. The results of this real-life experience are presented in this study. METHODS: All patients had cancer and had previously completed a cycle of at least six months of full-dose anticoagulation for the treatmen... más información

ABSTRACT Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) and anti-Xa direct oral anti-coagulants (DOACs) are recommended for the long-term treatment of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) based on well-documented randomised controlled trials. Anti-Xa DOACs are viewed as a first choice for the treatment of patients with CAT. A large number of drug-drug interactions have been reported between DOACs and chemotherapy drugs, modifying circulating levels of DOAC leading to fears of increased bleeding risks or thrombotic recurrence. Progresses in anti-neoplastic therapies have improved the pro... más información

ABSTRACT This study aims to summarize the available data and determine if the presence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) immune-related adverse event (irAE) in patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is associated with improved treatment efficacy and clinical outcomes, which in turn was used to help optimize patient selection for anticoagulation therapy and inform rational treatment strategies for overcoming the mechanisms of ICI resistance. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched up to March 18, 2023, for studies assessing the relati... más información

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: The prediction of complications before gastric surgery is of utmost importance in shared decision making and proper counseling of the patient in order to minimize postoperative complications. Our aim was to evaluate the predictive validity of American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) risk calculator in gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy. METHODS: Preoperative assessment data of 432 patients were retrospectively reviewed and manually entered into the calculator. The accuracy of the calculator ... más información
