Abstract

Cancer patients present with abnormalities of coagulation tests, reflecting a hypercoagulable state, often asso- ciated with a high incidence of thrombotic complications and poor disease prognosis. Different degrees of blood clotting abnormalities are described in diverse cancers, depending on tumor types and stage. The mechanisms of hemostasis that are critically involved in thrombosis are also implicated in tumor progression, angiogenesis, and metastatic spread. In this review, we summarize the results of published studies and focus on ongoing research and future directions of clotting factors and clotting activation bioproducts as biomarkers for cancer disease diagnosis and in cancer risk prediction.
