Abstract

Single-agent Pembrolizumab is a first-line standard-of-care regimen for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with high PD-L1 expression (≥ 50%). Venous thromboembolic events (VTE) defined both as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) contributes to morbidity and mortality in NSCLC patients. Limited data are available regarding VTE in advanced NSCLC patients treated with first-line Pembrolizumab. Our retrospective study aimed to describe VTE incidence and its impact on survival.
