Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in surgical and cancer patients. Thoracic surgery represents a subset of surgical oncology patients with increased VTE risk due to inherent technical and disease-specific factors. While other surgical specialties have adopted post discharge extended prophylaxis, the literature surrounding extended VTE prophylaxis in thoracic surgery is lacking. This study aims to identify VTE risk factors and VTE-associated mortality amongst surgical lung cancer patients.
