150 Years Since Trousseau
Left: Armand Trousseau
(14 October 1801 – 23 June 1867)
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), is major source of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients.
Incidence rates of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) vary with cancer type, stage, treatment, and comorbidities, but it is estimated that approximately 15-20 % of cancer patients will develop a venous thromboembolic episode at some point during the course of their illness.
