Research progress on pulmonary embolism in patients with lung cancer
Cancer patients are more likely to develop venous thromboembolism than the general population,and venous thromboembolism is the second leading cause of death in cancer patients after the primary cause of cancer itself.Lung cancer is one of the cancer types with the highest risk of venous thrombosis.Among venous thromboembolism,pulmonary embolism is the most dangerous and has a significant impact on the treatment,condition and prognosis of lung cancer patients.This paper discussed the pathogenesis,risk factors and current predictive models of pulmonary embolism in patients with lung cancer.
