Abstract
Women with breast cancer are affected by deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism 3 times more often than the group of healthy women in the same age. Thrombosis can be the first manifestation of a malignant disease, but it can also result from hormonal therapy with aromatase inhibitors or tamoxifen which is used in cancer treatment. The necessary clinical problem to solve in this population is the issue of prophylactic antithrombotic treatment. In this paper we present a case of pulmonary embolism in the course of the breast cancer, which was associated with tamoxifen hormone therapy and inadequate thromboprophylaxis.
