Postoperative F1+2/TAT elevations may flag DVT risk after CRC resection; hypothesis-generating for perioperative monitoring trials.
Do coagulation test abnormalities correlate with tumour burden and predict postoperative DVT in patients with colorectal cancer?
Postoperative, but not preoperative, elevations in coagulation markers (F1+2, TAT, SF) are predictive of postoperative deep venous thrombosis in patients undergoing resection for colorectal cancer.
Thorlacius‐Ussing et al. (2002) studied this question.
