Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of the study is to assess the fibrin structure marker in the plasma of cancer patients, treated or not treated with LMWH at prophylactic or therapeutic doses, in order to determine the venous thromboembolic risk. The occurrence of thromboembolic events in patients without treatment and in patients under LMWH treatment will be recorded, depending on the location and type of cancer, metastases, and treatment of cancer.

- label
- Group I
- description
- Patients without LMWH treatment. A thromboembolic event has to be diagnosed according to standard imaging criteria (spiral computed tomography CT, proximal lower limb venous compression ultrasonography US) by clinicians who will not have knowledge of the result of the fibrin structure marker. The following assays will be performed for these patients : * Fibrin Structure measured at baseline and every month using prototype assays * Other markers activity : sFVIII:C and TFPI for coagulation activation, DDimers and PAI-1 for fibrinolysis resistance and fibrin assay, all measured at baseline and every 3 months.

- description
- Patients with LMWH treatment at prophylactic dose at enrollment only. A thromboembolic event has to be diagnosed according to standard imaging criteria (spiral computed tomography CT, proximal lower limb venous compression ultrasonography US) by clinicians who will not have knowledge of the result of the fibrin structure marker. The following assays will be performed for these patients : * Fibrin Structure measured at baseline and every month using prototype assays, * Anti-FXa activity measured at baseline and every month, * Other markers activity : FVIII:C and TFPI for coagulation activation, DDimers and PAI-1 for fibrinolysis resistance and fibrin assay, all measured at baseline and every 3 months.
