Patients with advanced endometrial cancer (EC) are at risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), though risk by treatment phase remains unclear. This single-institution retrospective study evaluated 84 patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT, n=34) or adjuvant chemotherapy (n=50) for stage III-IV EC. Overall VTE incidence was 27.4% (95% CI, 18.8-38.0%). Among patients receiving NACT, VTE occurred in 14.3% during NACT and in 16.7% during ongoing chemotherapy. Postoperative and adjuvant treatment rates were less than 10.0%. Khorana score was a poor predictor of VTE, with 52.0% of intermediate-risk patients developing VTE. These findings highlight the need for improved VTE risk-reduction strategies, including larger studies to evaluate optimization of risk stratification and VTE prophylaxis during systemic therapy for advanced EC.

Introduction: The management of bleeding and coagulation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has long been recognised as a significant challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Despite the notable success of empirical anticoagulation in preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) following TKA, the increased risk of postoperative bleeding has also raised extensive concern. Ecchymosis, as one of the most common manifestations indicating postoperative bleeding, holds the potential to indicate the balance of bleeding and hypercoagulation.

Background: Previous results from this phase 3 trial showed that progression-free survival among participants with previously untreated (epidermal growth factor receptor)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was significantly improved with amivantamab-lazertinib as compared with osimertinib. Results of the protocol-specified final overall survival analysis in this trial have not been reported.
Methods: We randomly assigned, in a 2:2:1 ratio, participants with previously untreated -mutated (exon 19 deletion or L858R substitution), locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC to receive amivantamab-lazertinib, osimertinib, or lazertinib.
Background: Data on the levels of rivaroxaban-specific anti-factor Xa activity (AFXaA) within three weeks of starting high-dose rivaroxaban therapy in patients with cancer-associated thromboembolism (CAT) is limited. This study aimed to determine initial levels of rivaroxaban-specific AFXaA in patients with CAT to assist with drug monitoring.
Methods: This study included a total of 33 patients from December 2017 through January 2019.
