Emerging Study Highlights Increased Risk of Blood Clots Among Cancer Patients with Covid-19

In a recent study published in JAMA Oncology, researchers have drawn attention to a potential concern for cancer patients who contract Covid-19. The study suggests that individuals battling both cancer and Covid-19, particularly those undergoing anti-cancer treatments, could face an elevated risk of developing venous thromboembolisms (VTE) – serious blood clots within the veins.

Emerging Study Highlights Increased Risk of Blood Clots Among Cancer Patients with Covid-19

Emerging Study Highlights Increased Risk of Blood Clots Among Cancer Patients with Covid-19

The findings, which stem from a comprehensive analysis of 4,988 cancer patients worldwide with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between March 2020 and December 2021, are shedding light on the nuanced relationship between cancer treatments, Covid-19, and blood clot risks.

Key observations from the study include:

Increased Risk with Anti-Cancer Treatment:

Patients who were undergoing systemic anti-cancer treatment, such as endocrine therapy, immunomodulators, and chemotherapy, were found to have a 33% higher relative risk of developing VTE compared to those not receiving such treatments.

Differentiated Thromboembolism Risks:

While there appeared to be an elevated risk of VTE, the study did not find a corresponding higher risk of arterial thromboembolism, providing a nuanced understanding of the potential impacts.

Association with Severe Outcomes:

Patients who experienced thromboembolic events (TEEs) faced higher rates of intensive care unit admission and mechanical ventilation, highlighting the potential severity of these complications.

Factors Influencing Outcome:

The risk of death in patients with TEEs was found to be associated with factors like physical abilities and the status of the cancer (active or progressing).

The researchers emphasised the importance of careful monitoring for cancer patients who contract Covid-19, particularly those on systemic anti-cancer treatments. They also suggested the potential need for personalised thromboprophylaxis – preventive measures against blood clot formation – to mitigate the morbidity and mortality risks tied to Covid-19-related thromboembolism.

As the medical community continues to deepen its understanding of the complex interactions between pre-existing medical conditions and Covid-19, studies like these provide crucial insights that can inform targeted approaches to patient care and management. By highlighting specific risk factors and outcomes, healthcare professionals can better tailor their interventions to ensure the well-being of cancer patients facing the dual challenges of their disease and the ongoing pandemic.
