Abstract:
Venous thromboembolism(VTE)is one of the common and serious complications of malignant tumors.In elderly lung cancer patients, problems such as decreased autonomic activity, bed rest, poor performance status(PS), combined underlying diseases and the use of chemoradiotherapy are often considered as risk factors for high incidence of VTE.This article is aimed to review the clinical features and pathogenesis of lung cancer in the elderly combined with VTE, to investigate the risk factors and explore feasible evaluation and prevention strategies.
