Late venous thromboembolism in survivors of adolescent and young adult cancer: A population-based study in California.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a common complication in cancer patients, occurs more often during the initial phase of treatment. However, information on VTE beyond the first two years after diagnosis ('late VTE') is scarce, particularly in young survivors.

Methods

We examined the risk of, and factors associated with, late VTE among adolescents and young adults (AYA, 15-39 years) diagnosed with cancer (2006-2018) who survived ≥2 years. Data were obtained from the California Cancer Registry linked to hospitalization, emergency department and ambulatory surgery data. We used non-parametric models and Cox proportional hazard regression for analyses.

Results

Among 59,343 survivors, the 10-year cumulative incidence of VTE was 1.93 % (CI 1.80-2.07). The hazard o
