Why the study?
Does the occurrence of thromboembolic events impact overall survival in patients with localized gastroesophageal cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy?
Does the occurrence of thromboembolic events impact overall survival in patients with localized gastroesophageal cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy?
Thromboembolic events occurring before or during chemoradiotherapy in patients with localized gastroesophageal cancer are independent predictors of poor overall survival.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant closer TEE surveillance during chemoradiotherapy for localized gastroesophageal cancer; leaves open whether thromboprophylaxis improves survival.
Tetzlaff et al. (2008) studied this question.
