Effect of fat emulsion administration on blood coagulation in terminal lung cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patients with cancer, especially those with lung cancer, are at high risk of developing thrombosis. Intralipos^® infusion 20% is contraindicated for thrombosis, and there is no consensus on whether it can be safely used in cases of advanced cancer.

Methods

The subjects were patients with terminal lung cancer in the Department of Surgery and Palliative Medicine, Fujita Health University Nanakuri Memorial Hospital between January 2016 and December 2019. We compared changes in their blood coagulation profile before hospitalization and one month later.

Results

There were a total of 213 pati
