About

Microparticles have recently emerged as a thrombotic risk marker with a potential role in determining which patients are at greatest risk for developing thrombosis. Available data show an increase in the level of microparticles in cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy for solid tumors with a possible link to their thrombogenic state.

Our study focuses on the kinetics of microparticles under chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic or gastric cancer by serial measurements of microparticles procoagulant activity.

Detailed Description:

The impact of chemotherapy on microparticles expression will be assessed by measuring their procoagulant activity on blood samples taken during the course of chemotherapy. The thrombotic risk will be evaluated by the score of Khorana in parallel. Microparticles expression in patients with thrombosis will be compared to that in other patients.
