Risk of thrombosis in women with cancer undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for fertility preservation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The study aims to evaluate the risk factors and incidence of thromboembolic events among adult women with cancer who underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for fertility preservation.

Methods

Retrospective, descriptive cohort analysis of patient demographics, medical history, cancer type/treatment, laboratory values, thrombosis within 6 months of COH.

Results

4 of 127 study participants experienced a venous thromboembolic event within 6 months of COH. The median time between oocyte aspiration and the event was 0.25 years (range = 0.10-0.50). The average age at time of event was 25.3 years (SD = 5.3). Three of four thrombotic patients had ovarian cancer, one had breast cancer. All had received surgery and chemotherapy for treatment. All underwent a
