Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) can increase morbidity and mortality for cancer patients. Therefore, guidelines recommend predicting VTE risk and thromboprophylaxis for high-risk patients. Many studies critique oncologists' adherence to thromboprophylaxis guidelines for cancer patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the use and safety of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients undergoing surgery for intracranial meningiomas, focusing on how different doses affected outcomes.
- A total of six randomized controlled trials with 881 patients were analyzed, revealing that TXA significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion rates, surgery duration, and hospital stay lengths, but did not increase postoperative complications.
- The findings suggested that a preoperative dose of 20 mg/kg with an intraoperative maintenance dose was effective in minimizing blood loss, although further research is needed to confirm these observations and optimize dosing strategies.

Pulmonary embolism (PE), a form of venous thromboembolism, is a frequently observed complication in malignancies, with a notably high incidence in individuals with lung cancer. The presence of PE markedly reduces the quality of life and has a significant impact on the prognosis of those diagnosed with both lung cancer and PE. As a result, timely diagnosis and intervention are of paramount importance.

Cardiac myxomas, the most common primary cardiac tumors, are believed to originate from multipotent mesenchymal cells. Approximately 75% of myxomas occur within the left atrium, increasing the risk of systemic thromboembolic events. While typically benign, atrial myxomas can rarely metastasize to the brain, with fewer than 60 cases reported.

Background: Prognosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) has improved after the availability of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and approved drugs. However, the clinical effects of cancer, which is one of the associated medical conditions of CTEPH, remain unclear. We aimed to investigate prognosis in patients with CTEPH and comorbid cancer.
