Incidencia de trombosis venosa profunda en pacientes diagnosticados con neoplasias Utero- Ovaricas en el Instituto Oncológico Nacional “Dr. Juan Tanca Marengo” durante el periodo 2019.

Abstract

Introduction: Venous thrombo embolism (VTE) is the formation of thrombus in the intravascular space and is frequently a complication in cancer patients. Gynecologic cancer is among the first five types of neoplasms with the highest risk of developing VTE. General objective: To identify the incidence of deep vein thrombosis in patients diagnosed with utero-ovarian neoplasms at the Instituto Oncológico Nacional "Dr. Juan Tanca Marengo" during 2019. Methodological design: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study. Results: The incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with utero- ovarian cancer is 6.8%. The mean age of the patients was 54.3 years, with the most frequent age group being 40 to 59 years (46.4%), followed by those over 60 years (34.6%). 88.6% were patients with uterine cancer (cervix - endometrium) and 11.4% with ovarian cancer. Conclusions: Utero ovarian neoplasms have high incidence of deep vein thrombosis.
