Abstract. Malignant tumor is regarded to be an independent high risk factor for venous thromboembolic complications (VTEC) development. Currently, there is no consensus on VTEC predictors in patients with malignant neoplasms (MN), which makes it difficult to determine the timing of preventive measures starting. In this regard, it seems valuable to be able to identify the most significant risk factors for VTEC in oncologic patients.
The aim of the study is to examine high-risk factors of VTEC development among malignant neoplasms patients using modern biomarkers.
Material and methods. A comparative analysis of the level of the cell adhesion marker P-selectin was carried out in 122 patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) having also malignant neoplasms who were hospitalized at Republican Cardiological Dispensary of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Chuvash Republic, and 89 outpatients with malignant neoplasms without PE at the basis of Republican Clinical Oncological Dispensary of the Ministry of Healthcare of Chuvash Republic.
Results. The leading risk factors for VTEC in patients with malignant neoplasms were: age over 57 years, a history of thromboembolic events, concomitant cardiac arrhythmias, localization of the oncological process (colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, combined cancers), size of the tumor process, the presence of regional and distant metastases, early onset of the disease (the first 3 months from the diagnosis of malignant neoplasm), fibrinogen levels >2,6 g/l, CRP >16,9 mg/l, hemoglobin <110 g/l, D-dimer >2,0 µg/ml, P-selectin >375,0 ng/ml.
Conclusion. Early detection of established risk factors for VTEC in malignant neoplasms patients will allow initiating primary VTEC prevention at the outpatient stage (prescription of oral anticoagulants). In patients with an intermediate risk of VTEC, when deciding on the appointment of anticoagulant therapy, as a clarifying laboratory method for detecting thrombotic readiness, in addition to determining the concentration of D-dimer in the blood serum, it is advisable to evaluate a new biomarker of cell adhesion – P-selectin.
