It is estimated that nearly all cancer patients will experience from some form of VTE, whether or not clinically relevant, during the course of their disease.

- A study investigated whether arthroscopic or open surgery for diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor (D-TGCT) of the knee has different recurrence rates.
- The analysis included data from 16 retrospective studies involving 1,143 patients and utilized random-effects meta-analyses to compare outcomes.
- Results showed that arthroscopic procedures had a 1.56 times higher risk of recurrence than open procedures, while overall complications from both methods were low.
