Incidence and Outcomes Associated with Distal Deep Vein Thrombosis in 760,344 Patients with 13 Common Malignancies
Conclusions: Isolated distal DVT cases made up only a small percentage of all diagnosed incident CAT events for all cancer types analyzed, with the 2-year cumulative incidence ranging from 0.5% - 2.0% for stage 4 patients. Subsequent rVTE events in these patients were principally PE or p-DVT (73%). D-DVT was not a significant predictor of rVTE. A diagnosis of incident d-DVT was strongly associated with worse survival, and for most cancers, survival was similar among patients with an incident p-DVT or PE.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
