Comparing blood clot risks after cancer vs. non-cancer surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how often blood clots form in catheters after major surgery, comparing patients with and without cancer. It may help doctors prevent clotting in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You do not have a blood disorder that causes easy clotting
- You are not taking blood thinners or clot-dissolving medicines at full doses
- Your veins can be seen clearly on an ultrasound
- No blood clot was found in the vein before the catheter was placed
- The catheter is not being used for dialysis

This trial tests a program to help people who had cancer surgery get medicine to prevent dangerous blood clots. If you had belly or pelvic cancer surgery and are not on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
This study follows people who have both cancer and a blood clot. It aims to learn more about how these clots happen and how they are treated in cancer patients, so doctors can improve care.
This study looks at how well blood thinners (anticoagulants) work in people with cancer who have had a blood clot. It aims to compare the benefits and risks of different anticoagulant medicines.
This study looks at why some people develop blood clots after lung cancer surgery. By tracking your recovery for 30 days, researchers hope to find better ways to predict and prevent clots in the future.
This study surveys surgeons and surgical advanced practice providers about how they prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) in patients after cancer surgery. It aims to understand current practices and improve future care.
This study is for people with cancer who have had a serious blood clot. Researchers want to create a risk score that predicts who might have another clot or a bleeding problem from treatment, so they can better tailor care.
