Background: Our previous reports showed that elastic stockings (ES) combined with intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) significantly decrease the incidence of perioperative pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). This study was conducted to investigate whether ES with IPC is useful to prevent PTE in cancer patients.
Methods: No prophylactic strategies were employed from January 1998 to December 1999 (4511 cases).
