Armand Trousseau
(18011867)
Looking for this association and its
consequences for clinical practice
“In conditions of cachexia, a special
state of the blood occurs which
predispose to spontaneous
coagulation”

Thrombosis of aorta
Pancreatic CC
Thrombosis
Pancreas
longitudinal and transversal section of popliteal vein: recent
thrombosis, complete obstruction of popliteal vein
transversal section of common femural vein at femural bifurcation: recent
thrombosis, complet obstruction (duplex color)
Epidemiology
Incidence of thrombosis:
in cancer: 5-60%
2x higher in cancer pts vs general
population
20% pts DVT have dg cancer
Clinical types of thrombosis:
Superficial migratory thrombophlebitis (Trousseau
syndrome)
Idiopathic deep venous thrombosis
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis
Intravascular disseminated coagulation
Thrombotic microangiopathy (thrombocitary
thrombocytopenic purpura and the hemolitic-uremic
syndrome)
Arterial thrombosis
Localisation
of cancer
Pathogenesis
Virchow’s triad
Alterations in blood flow
Vascular endothelial injury
Alterations in the constituents of the
blood
Patients with cancer : hypercoagulable state >>
substances with procoagulant activity: tissue factor,
cancer procoagulant
Pathogenesis
Hypercoagulability
Abnormal coagulation tests
Thrombine generated in excess
Tumour cells have direct procoagulant
effect
Tissue factor activate F IX and FX
initiating coagulation
Tumoral procoagulant: a Ca-dependent
cistein-protease
Pathogenesis
The factor V Leiden mutation, a
mutation of the F5 gene (gene ID:
2153), causes partial resistance of
this coagulation factor to the
inactivating effects of activated
protein C, a protein encoded by the
PROC gene (gene ID: 5624)
5% population RR 3-8
Pathogenesis
The prothrombin 20210A mutation
found to be associated with elevated
prothrombin levels
2% population, RR 2.0
Pathogenesis
The endothelial cells may become
procoagulant under the influence of
proinflammatory cytokinases or other
peptides: TNF & IL-1 increase the
expression of adhesion molecules for
leukocytes, PAF and tissue factor
TNF decreases the endothelial fibrinolytic
activity, increases endothelial production of
IL-1, increases the expression of
thrombomoduline (which diminishes the
activation of anticoagulant proteine C).

Sorensen et al NEJM 1998
15,348 patients with DVT and 11,305 patients with
pulmonary embolism
1737 cases cancer in the cohort with deep venous
thrombosis, compared with 1372 expected cases
(standardized incidence ratio, 1.3);
Among the patients with pulmonary embolism,
standardized incidence ratio was 1.3,
The risk was substantially elevated only during the
first six months of follow-up and declined rapidly
40% of patients given a diagnosis of cancer within
one year after hospitalization for thromboembolism
had distant metastases at the time of the diagnosis
Strong associations with cancers: pancreas, ovary,
liver (primary hepatic cancer), brain.

Venous Thrombosis

Malignancy
All hematological cancer 37/ 1 26.2 (3.6-191.4)/ 28.0 (4.0-199.7)
Gastrointestinal malignancies

Stomach 2 /0 ND ND

All gastrointestinal cancer 52/ 2 18.9 (4.6-77.8)/ 20.3 (4.9-83.0)
Risk factors
Advanced age
Caucasians
Comorbidities
History of DVT
Location of cancer
First 6 months after cc dx
Metastasis
Recent surgery, current hospitalization,
chemotherapy, central venous catheters,
sepsis.
Prognosis
Poorer in pts with cancer (incl.
pancreatic cancer + DVT) vs cancer
(including pancreatic cancer without
DVT
(Alcalay et al J Clin Oncol 2006)
Prophylaxis
LMWH 5000 iu once a day
(Bergquist et al Br J Surg 1995)
LMWH superior to heparin
(Mismetti et al Br J Surg 2001)
Long-term: 4 weeks postop. superior to 1 week
(Rasmussen et al Blood 2003)
Conclusions
Pts with pancreatic cancer have higher risk
to develop thrombotic events
This contribute to their morbitiy nd
mortality
These complications should be actively
searched in order to improve life
expectancy and qol
Thromboprofilaxis of pts with pancreatic
cancer refered to surgery or having
catheters is very important
QUESTIONS
Is pancreatic cancer associated with
DVT?
YES
NO
Shall we screen pts with DVT
(recurrent) for occult malignancy
including pancreatic cc?
YES
NO
