December 2019
Background: In recent times, scientists have found new treatments for colorectal cancer patients.
Aim: The study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of triplet combination chemotherapy of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in stage IV.
Methods: Uncontrolled clinical trial carried on 39 stage IV colorectal cancer patients.
Article Synopsis
- Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and preventable issue in surgical patients, necessitating careful risk assessment for effective thromboprophylaxis to minimize complications and mortality.
- A study involving 2,790,027 surgical patients in Vietnam utilized the Caprini risk assessment model to evaluate VTE occurrences and identified a significant number of cases within 90 days post-surgery.
- The results showed that patients with higher Caprini scores had a dramatically increased risk of developing VTE, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention strategies for those at the highest risk.
