Objective: To investigate the correlation factors of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia (EDTA-PTCP) in cancer patients.
Methods: The potential correlation factors of EDTA-PTCP such as gender, age, case history, tumor types, therapeutic drugs and duration of EDTA-PTCP from cancer patients were analyzed based on the patient records from October 2007 to September 2009 at our cancer center.
Results: A total of 49 EDTA-PTCP cases from a pool of 55 000 cancer patients were collected.
