Cancer VTE Risk
For education. Check every result.
Anatium is a study resource, not medical advice. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prescription or a substitute for a clinician who has seen the patient. Check every number against a current local protocol before it touches anyone, and never act on a result you cannot reproduce yourself.
How it is calculated
Khorana predicts VTE in ambulatory patients receiving chemotherapy - it is not for hospitalised patients, who receive prophylaxis anyway. Very high-risk tumour sites (stomach, pancreas) score 2 and lung, lymphoma, gynaecological, bladder and testicular score 1. The decision always weighs bleeding risk against thrombosis.
