The clinical course of deep vein thrombosis in patients with gynecologic cancer.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival of gynecologic cancer patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis. ⋯ The development of DVT in conjunction with a gynecologic malignancy connotes a poor prognosis, especially in patients with cervical cancer. It is possible that this poor prognosis is related to the pathophysiology that results in venous thrombosis and not just the presence of cancer.
