Abstract

The risk of venous thromboembolism is perceived to be high in patients with lung cancer. However, existing studies in patients undergoing operations for lung cancer draw inconsistent conclusions and recommendations in terms of thromboprophylaxis. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the risk of perioperative and postoperative venous thromboembolism for patients undergoing potential curative surgical procedures for primary lung cancer METHODS: This was a systematic review including studies of patients with primary lung cancer undergoing operations with curative intent.
