I went to a new guideline-based journal article to see what they say and the first sentence says "Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with cancer.": from Key NS, Khorana AA, Kuderer NM, Bohlke K, Lee AYY, Arcelus JI ...
In 2021, the American College of Chest Physicians offered one testing-related recommendation in its venous thromboembolism guidelines. [40] They recommended to consider positive D-dimer in the decision to continue or discontinue anticoagulation. Positive D-dimer may suggest that the ongoing thrombotic tendency has not fully resolved.
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) is a professional organization representing hematologists, founded in 1958. Its annual meeting is held in December of every year and has attracted more than 30,000 attendees. [ 1 ]
American evidence-based clinical guidelines were published in 2016 for the treatment of VTE. [42] In the UK, guidelines by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) were published in 2012, updated in 2020. [43] These guidelines do not cover rare forms of thrombosis, for which an individualized approach is often needed. [5]

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) (literally: 'painful blue inflammation'), not to be confused with preceding phlegmasia alba dolens, is an uncommon severe form of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that obstructs blood outflow from a vein.
Behind non-O blood type [7] and factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A is one of the most common genetic risk factors for venous thromboembolism. [4] Increased production of prothrombin heightens the risk of blood clotting. Moreover, individuals who carry the mutation can pass it on to their offspring. [8]
The 2021 ASH/ISTH guidelines re-classified patients with levels in the 30–50 IU/dl range as "Low VWF" if they have no bleeding, but as having VWD if they have bleeding. [6] VWD type 1 is the most common type of the disorder, with mild bleeding symptoms such as nosebleeds, though occasionally more severe symptoms can occur.
