Abstract

The incidence of malignant lymphomas has been increasing in recent years worldwide. These diseases are often accompanied by venous thromboembolic complications (VTEC). The development of VTEC leads to interrupting of therapy, increasing mortality and significant rising of treatment costs. Anticoagulants are effective in VTEC prophylaxis. Prescribing of anticoagulant therapy is based on VTEC different risk scales, which are far from perfect. The search of additional features for hemostasis assessment can increase the prognostic value of these scales. The optimization of VTEC risk scales can improve efficacy of anticoagulant therapy and decrease an incidence of thrombotic events in patient with malignant lymphomas. The article presents a literature review and own clinical observations regarding the VTEC risk assessment in patients with lymphoproliferative diseases.
