Routine coagulation molecules predict nasopharyngeal carcinoma and associated metastases.

Conclusions: Routine coagulation indices can predict nasopharygeal carcinoma, with the combination of prothrombin time, APTT and PDW being strongest. The combination of APTT, fibrinogen and FDPs provides a useful score to predict metastases. These indices should be considered in the diagnosis and staging of this disease.
