Some venous thromboembolic event risk factors in cancer patients

Cancer-related	Patient-related	Treatment-related
Reduced mobility
Primary cancer (e.g., pancreatic cancer > colo-rectal cancer)	Age	Operation
Stage (IV > III)	History of VTE	Chemotherapy
Histology (e.g., adeno- > squamous cell-carcinoma)	Infection/fever	Central line/ port-catheter
Grade (3 > 2)		Parenteral nutrition
Thrombocytosis		Radiation therapy
Leukocytosis
Acute phase (elevated CRP)
Elevated D-dimer

CRP: C-reactive protein; VTE: Venous thromboembolic event.
