Contribution of Leukocyte Platelet Aggregates to Development of Thrombosis in Patients With Advanced Cancer
Abstract
Aim:
To determine the relations between
leukocyte platelet aggregates and thrombosis in patients with solid
tumors who are susceptible to inflammation and thrombosis. Method: Laboratory
and clinical data of 28 metastatic gastrointestinal tumors, 33 metastatic lung
tumors, 29 operated tumor patients, were compared with a control group
consisting of 12 healthy controls . Monocyte platelet aggregates, granulocyte
platelet aggregates; thrombin-antithrombin III complex and high-sensitivity
C-reactive protein levels were studied. The formation of deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) was prospectively evaluated in patients. Results: Monocyte platelet
aggregate levels of metastatic gastrointestinal tumors and operated tumors were
found to be significantly higher compared to the control group (p: 0.05, 0.029,
respectively). Granulocyte platelet aggregates level in all of the tumors of
metastatic gastrointestinal, metastatic lung and operated tumors were found to
be significantly higher compared with the control group (p = 0.015; 0,0,012;
0.01, respectively). No significant difference was observed between the groups
in the levels of thrombin-antithrombin III complex and neutrophil lymphocyte
ratio. The incidence of DVT was identified as
22% (18 patients). Conclusion: The increase in levels of leukocyte
platelet aggregate values increases in cancer patients of different stages and
different tissue origin. To confirm the results we have achieved, and to
demonstrate the potential impact of this information in estimation of
thrombotic events in cancer patients more studies conducted in larger groups of
patients are needed.
