Trial Information

US-Doppler for the Diagnosis of Asymptomatic DVT in Gynecologic Cancer Patients


The association between malignancy and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is well known. It has
been shown that there is a high prevalence of VTE in gynecological malignancies. Early
detection of VTE can identify patients who may benefit from anticoagulant therapy and
prevent morbidity and mortality.

NO clear guidelines are available for anticoagulant prophylaxis in a selected group of
ambulatory gynecological cancer patients. It has been shown, in other selected groups of
patients that Ultrasound Doppler can be used in order to diagnose asymptomatic DVT (deep
vein thrombosis).
