Platelet RNA sequencing for cancer screening in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Platelet RNA sequencing has been shown to accurately detect cancer in previous studies.

Objectives: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of platelet RNA sequencing with standard-of-care limited cancer screening in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Methods: Patients aged ≥40 years with unprovoked VTE were recruited at 13 centers and followed for 12 months for cancer.
