| Abstract | Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent complication of lung cancer and its treatment, especially in the advanced stages of disease. The risk of a pro-thrombotic state might increase through the activation of hemostasis, occurring both via the induction of a pro-coagulant activity and with platelet involvement, ultimately leading to the development of metastases. Despite the acknowledgement of an increased thrombophilic condition in cancer patients, and the experimental evidence that heparin compounds may have direct anticancer benefits, there is no univocal consent regarding VTE prevention in cancer outpatients receiving therapy. Thus, many authors highlighted the need for the development of stratification techniques to identify at-risk patients who might benefit from thromboprophylaxis. Clinical risk models were developed and validated, in order to assign high-risk patients to a proper thromboprophylaxis regimen that, however, might not be justified in all clusters. Besides, efforts have been devoted to identify candidate biomarkers that may be used in VTE risk assessment, although none has been recognized, so far, as a predictor for VTE in lung cancer patients. In this review, we will summarize the latest information concerning this very controversial topic, with focus on some of the proposed strategies to select the appropriate patients for prophylaxis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
