Abstract
Cancer is associated with a hypercoagulable state and is a well-known independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism, whereas the association between cancer and arterial thromboembolism is less well established. Arterial thromboembolism, primarily defined as myocardial infarction or stroke is significantly more frequent in patients with cancer, independently of vascular risk factors and associated with a three-fold increase in the risk of mortality. Patients with brain cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer have the highest relative risk of developing arterial thromboembolism. Antithrombotic treatments should be used with caution due to the increased risk of haemorrhage, as specified in current practice guidelines.

Abstract
Background: Patients with lung cancer face an increased incidence of venous (VTE) and arterial (ATE) thromboembolism. Risk factors for thrombosis remain unclear, particularly the impact of the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We sought to compare the incidence of VTE and ATE in lung cancer patients receiving platinum-based therapy versus those receiving ICIs alone or in combination with chemotherapy and to validate the Khorana risk score for predicting VTE in the era of ICIs. Methods: A retrospective single-institution data analysis of 173 patients diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic lung cancer at the Jena University hospital between 2015 and 2021. Results: The study revealed a high incidence of VTE (17.9%) and ATE (5.8%). The VTE risk was higher in patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.09-0.93) than in patients with other histological types. A prior venous event was associated with an increased risk of recurrent VTE (OR 4.46, 95% CI 1.20-16.63). The incidence of thrombosis under first-line platinum-based chemotherapy did not differ from the incidence under ICIs (p = 0.19). There were no differences in the subgroup of patients who received ICIs alone or combined immunochemotherapy (p = 0.43). The Khorana score failed to predict the risk of VTE correctly. Conclusions: We did not find evidence supporting the theory that ICI therapy (alone or combined) increases the risk of thrombotic events. Adenocarcinoma and a prior history of VTE were strongly associated with an increased risk of VTE. Other scores for thrombotic risk assessment in lung cancer patients should be tested in prospective studies.

Abstract
Thromboembolic complications, including venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thromboembolism (ATE), increase mortality and morbidity, and delay treatment in patients with cancer. Therefore, an increased understanding of underlying risk profiles, the identification of risk factors and predictive biomarkers, and ultimately the development of specific cardiovascular prevention strategies in patients with cancer is needed. Medical anticancer therapies have undergone a remarkable development in recent years with the advent of targeted and immunotherapeutic treatment options, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies and bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs). These developments have important implications for the accompanied risk of thromboembolic events in patients with cancer. First, the increased use of these highly effective therapies renders a growing proportion of patients with cancer at risk of thromboembolic events for a prolonged risk period due to an increase in patient survival despite advanced cancer stages. Second, potential direct cardiovascular toxicity and prothrombotic effect of novel anticancer immunotherapies are a matter of ongoing debate, with emerging reports suggesting a relevant risk of VTE and ATE associated with ICI, and relevant dysregulations of hemostasis in the frequently observed cytokine-release syndrome associated with BiTEs and CAR T-cell therapy. The aim of the present narrative review is to summarize the implications of the emerging use of anticancer immunotherapy for thromboembolic events in patients with cancer, and to provide an overview of available data on the rates and risk factors for VTE and ATE associated with ICI, CAR T-cell therapy, and BiTEs.
