Genetic risk factors alone did not explain the high incidence of DVT/PE observed in patients with glioma. Higher plasma levels of molecules influencing the coagulation pathways indicate that the tumor itself might confer an increased risk of DVT/PE; thus, D-dimer, homocysteine, lp (a), VEGF, tPA, and PAI-1 look like good candidates to be evaluated as DVT/PE prognostic factors.
