Arterial and Venous Thromboembolism in ALK-Rearrangement-Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Population-Based Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we observed a higher VTE risk, but not ATE risk, in patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC relative to those without ALK rearrangement. Prospective studies are warranted to evaluate thromboprophylaxis in ALK-positive NSCLC.PMID:37014824 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyad061

The Impact of Atrial Fibrillation on hospitalization Outcomes for Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Using the National Inpatient Sample Database
CONCLUSION: CLL patients with AF are at a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality, cardiac-related mortality, and stroke. For this population, a multidisciplinary approach should be orchestrated for better management and outcomes.PMID:34598909 | DOI:10.1016/j.clml.2021.08.006

Mortality and Vascular Events Among Elderly Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: A Retrospective Analysis of Linked SEER-Medicare Data
Conclusion Elderly patients with CML had greater mortality and greater rates of MI, stroke, PE, and PAD than did noncancer patients. The event rates were not elevated among the TKI-treated (primary imatinib) patients, suggesting that the VE risk in these patients with CML was driven primarily by the underlying factors associated with CML. Micro-Abstract Tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can be associated with vascular events (VEs). We examined the event rates and mortality among elderly patients with and without CML using linked cancer registry and Medicare claims data from 2003 t...

Mortality and Vascular Events Among Elderly Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML): A Retrospective Analysis of Linked Seer-Medicare Data
Conclusions Elderly CML patients had higher mortality and higher rates of MI, stroke, PE and PAD than non-cancer patients. Event rates were not elevated among TKI-treated (primary imatinib) patients, suggesting that VE risk in these CML patients was driven primarily by underlying factors associated with CML. Teaser TKI treatment of CML may be associated with vascular events (VE). We examined event rates and mortality among elderly CML and non-cancer patients using linked cancer registry and Medicare claims data, 2003-2010. CML patients had higher mortality and VE rates. Rates were not elevated among TKI (primarily imatinib...
