Research progress of relationship between pancreatic cancer and blood coagulation factors / 复旦学报（医学版）

ABSTRACT

It has been widely considered that the pancreatic cancer has an inherent and unique ability to induce a hypercoagulable state that leads to clinically significant thrombosis.During examination of lower-limb venous with color doppler blood flow images,more than 50％ of pancreatic cancer patients were found having deep vein thrombosis (DVT).The causes of the hypercoagulable state in pancreatic cancerare still partly understood now.Its relationship with invasion,metastasis and prognosis of pancreatic cancer also need further research.How to deal with this kind of hypercoagulable state is worthy of study.This article discusses changes of some main factors in clotting mechanism of pancreatic cancer.The progress of research on the prevention and treatment is expounded and the future research direction is also put forward.
