Severe hypercoagulability disorders such as DVT, NBTE, and cerebral infarction can be the initial presentation of lung cancer, requiring early identification to prevent delayed diagnosis and treatment.
Multiple thromboembolic events may signal occult lung adenocarcinoma; leaves open optimal screening and management strategies.
