Significance of venous thromboembolism in women with cervical cancer.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To characterize risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and to examine effects of VTE on survival of women with cervical cancer. METHODS:This is a retrospective study examining consecutive stage I-IV cervical cancer cases diagnosed between 2000 and 2014. Cumulative risk of VTE after cervical cancer diagnosis was evaluated by a time-dependent analysis, expressing adjusted-hazard ratio [HR] and 95% confidence interval [CI]. Survival analysis was performed to determine independent risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-specific overall survival (OS). RESULTS:VTE was recorded in 98 (12.3%, 95%CI 11.6-22.8) out of 798 cases with 1-, 2-, and 5-year cumulative incidences after cervical cancer diagnosis being 8.4%, 11.3%, and 18.7%, respectively. On multivariable analysis, advanced-stage disease (2-year cumulative risk, distant metastatic disease 44.8% [HR 4.13, 95%CI 1.06-10.7, P=0.003], and locally-advanced disease 13.4% [HR 2.46, 95%CI 1.17-4.43, P=0.004]) were independently associated with increased risk of VTE compared to early-stage disease (stage IA1-IB1 4.1%). In addition, low albumin level (HR per unit change, 0.59, 95%CI 0.40-0.85, P=0.005) and chemotherapy treatment (HR 2.46, 95%CI 1.30-4.66, P=0.006) remained independent risk factors associated with increased risk of VTE. On univariate analysis, VTE was significantly associated with decreased PFS (5-year rates, 22.3% versus 68.7%, P<0.001) and OS (5-year rates, 55.1% versus 90.0%, P<0.001). On multivariable analysis, VTE remained an independent prognostic factor associated with decreased PFS (HR 1.95, 95%CI 1.43-2.67, P<0.001) and OS (HR 3.54, 95%CI 2.04-6.13, P<0.001). CONCLUSION:VTE represents aggressive tumor behavior and poor patient condition, and is an independent prognostic factor for decreased survival in women with cervical cancer.
