Khanuja J, et al. - Given that venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients, researchers assessed the incidence of VTE in patients with biliary tract cancers (BTC). Between January 2011 to December 2016, they carried out a retrospective study of patients with BTC identified by the cancer registry at the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California (USC) Medical Center, USC Norris Cancer Center, and USC Keck Hospital to describe the incidence of VTE. Among BTC patients 22% of them had VTE events. In patients with BTC, VTE is often seen. Findings suggested an correlation of visceral thrombosis with inferior survival in patients with BTC.
