Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with unresectable metastatic pancreatic cancer undergoing chemotherapy with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GnP).
- It analyzed data from 174 patients to examine the impact of early VTE detection on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), finding that patients with early VTE had significantly worse outcomes.
- The results suggest that screening for VTE, even in asymptomatic patients, is essential as it may indicate a poorer prognosis in those receiving first-line chemotherapy.
