Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 can lead to complications like venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), contributing to significant health risks and mortality.
- A comprehensive literature review identified 68 relevant studies, highlighting that severe COVID-19 patients have a VTE incidence of 6-26%, while arterial thromboembolism is less common.
- Current guidelines recommend the use of low molecular weight heparin for VTE prevention and treatment, but more research is needed to determine the optimal prophylactic dosage due to varying risks of bleeding and thrombosis.
Background: There is a lack of real-world data regarding the treatment outcomes of chemohormonal therapy versus hormonal therapy alone in Chinese men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a territory-wide, multicenter, age- and prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-matched cohort study comparing chemohormonal therapy and hormonal therapy alone in Chinese men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Patient and disease characteristics were reviewed.
