Resumo

Existe uma estreita relação entre o tromboembolismo venoso e o câncer. Pacientes com neoplasias apresentam maior incidência de eventos tromboembólicos em sua evolução clínica. A ocorrência desses eventos é considerada um marcador preditivo negativo nesse grupo de pacientes. Revisamos, então, a ativação dos mecanismos de coagulação neste grupo de pacientes. Trata-se de um processo complexo e multifatorial, relacionado tanto a características tumorais, estadiamento clínico, agressividade da doença e sítios tumorais, dentre outros. Novos biomarcadores vêm sendo pesquisados ao longo dos anos na tentativa de correlacioná-los ao risco trombótico, visando uma intervenção que melhore a evolução clínica desses pacientes oncológicos.

Abstract

There is a strong relationship between venous thromboembolism and cancer. Patients with tumors have a higher incidence of thromboembolic events in their clinical evolution. The occurrence of such events is considered a negative predictive marker in this group of patients. Thus, we aim to review activation of coagulation mechanisms in this group of patients. Activation of coagulation mechanisms in cancer patients is a complex and multifactorial process, related to tumor characteristics, clinical staging, the disease’s aggressiveness, tumor sites, and additional factors caused by disease progression. New biomarkers have been under investigation over the years in the attempt to correlate them to the risk of thrombosis, aiming to develop interventions that improve the clinical evolution of these cancer patients.

Keywords

venous thrombosis; cancer; risk factors.
