What is VTE Risk in Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy about?

This study investigates the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in newly diagnosed cancer patients undergoing curative radiotherapy. Out of 401 patients, VTE occurred in 8 patients, resulting in a 2% incidence rate at 6 months post-treatment, with no specific risk factors identified for thromboprophylaxis. The findings suggest that ionizing radiation does not significantly increase the short-term risk of thrombosis, providing a basis for future research on cancer subcategories.
