Incidence and Risk of Various Types of Arterial Thromboembolism in Patients With Cancer
CONCLUSION: In this observational study of an aggregated US patient population, those with newly diagnosed cancer had increased risk of ATE events. This risk was most elevated in a 330-day window around cancer diagnosis and was consistent across different types of ATE and cancer.PMID:33673912 | DOI:10.1016/j.mayocp.2020.05.045

Anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation in active cancer
Oncol Lett. 2022 Apr;23(4):124. doi: 10.3892/ol.2022.13244. Epub 2022 Feb 17.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) may often pre-exist in patients with newly diagnosed cancer or occur with increased frequency shortly after cancer diagnosis. Patients with active cancer and AF have a particularly high risk of thromboembolic complications, as both conditions carry a risk of thrombosis. Thromboembolic risk is determined by several factors, including advanced age, sex (females), cancer histology (adenocarcinomas), location (e.g., pancreas, stomach), advanced stage, anticancer regimens (e.g., platinum compounds, anti-angiogenic thera...
