Predicting VTE and utility of thromboprophylaxis in metastatic and recurrent cervical cancer.

Objective: Patients with cervical cancer who are diagnosed with venous thromboembolism (VTE) have worse outcomes compared to those not affected. There has yet to be a reliable method to predict or prevent VTE in cervical cancer patients. Our objective is to describe the incidence of VTE in patients with recurrent and metastatic (r/mCC) and determine risk factors that may predict VTE in this setting.
