Abstract | Cancer survivors are at an increased risk of thromboembolism compared to the general pediatric population. Anticoagulant therapy decreases the risk of thromboembolism in cancer patients. We hypothesized that pediatric cancer survivors are in a chronically hypercoagulable state compared to healthy controls. Children who survived for more than five years from cancer diagnosis at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio Cancer Survivorship Clinic were compared to healthy controls. The exclusion criteria were recent NSAID use or a history of coagulopathy. Coagulation analysis included platelet count, thrombin-antithrombin complexes (TAT), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), routine coagulation assays, and thrombin generation with and without thrombomodulin. We enrolled 47 pediatric cancer survivors and 37 healthy controls. Platelet count was significantly lower in cancer survivors at a mean of 254 × 10 |
