Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LA), metastasis (MTS), advanced stage and chemotherapy (CTx) are risk factors for thromboembolism (VTE). Routine thromboprophylaxis is not recommended but individualized risk assessment is encouraged.
AIM
The selection of the most relevant hypercoagulability biomarkers (HB) for incorporation into the risk assessment models (RAM) for VTE.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Patients with documented LA eligible for CTx at distance of at least 3months from surgery or hospitalization were included. They were either CTx naive (NG) or had received CTx (OTG). Control group (CG) consisted of 30 healthy age & sex-matched individuals. We assessed them for thrombin generation (TG), P-Selectin, heparanase (HPA), procoagulant phospholipids (PPL), factor VIIa, D-Dimers (DDi) and Tissue Factor activity (TFa).
RESULTS
Patients showed significantly shortened PPL and higher levels of TFa, DDi and HPA as compared to the CG. FVIIa levels were lower in patients compared to CG. The NG showed significantly shorter lag-time and lower ETP as compared to the OTG. It also showed significantly higher levels of HPA as compared to the OTG.The increase of TG and of HPA, P-Selectin, FVIIa was associated with the stage. Patients with MTS had higher levels of P-Selectin, TFa, DDi, FVIIa, TGT and HPA than those with localized or advanced disease.Patients with VTE had higher baseline levels of DDi, TGT, shorter PPL and lower levels of HPA as compared to those without. Patients who died within 3-months had higher baseline levels of DDi and lower HPA levels as compared to those who were alive.
CONCLUSIONS
Increased PPL, TF pathway up regulation, DDi and HPA increase is a universal phenomenon in LA. CTx has an impact on TGT and HPA levels. Baseline values of TGT, PPL, HPA, DDi were related with mortality and thrombosis. The incorporation of HB in VTE-RAMs might improve their predictive value. This concept is being studied on an ongoing trial.
