Abstract:

There is a thesis: CANCER has an often COMPLICATION such as VEIN THROMBOSIS. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018 (The World Health Organization). Sickness rate of deep vein thromboses is approximately 100 per 100 000 population annually. However, having worked as a vascular surgeon for several years I was wondering, why I have never detected cancer? So I decided to analyze 100 cases of morbidity of deep vein thromboses. Thus, for the period 2011-2018 there were identified 3 cases of cancer out of 100 cases of deep vein thromboses. Taking into account a rarity of cancer detection within the group of patients with deep thromboses, I decided to select a control group of 100 people with cancer who were hospitalized for the planned and urgent surgery to find out whether they had ever had deep vein thromboses, any deviations in their coagulograms or whether they had some current problems with the postthrombotic complications.

Biography:

Elena Drozdova a cardiovascular surgeon. Having taken an extensive practice in the field of vascular surgery, she mainly specializes in the problems of vein thromboses, urgent vascular surgery and vascular access for the patients on hemodialysis. She graduated from Samara State Medical University in 2006. In 2007 after the specialization in Samara Regional Clinical Cancer Center she got a certificate in General Surgery. Later in 2012 she finished Cardiovascular Surgery Residency at Samara State Medical University and got a Certificate of Cardiovascular Surgery. She is an author of a number of medical articles and was offered the position of editorial board member in some journals. Research interest: There are some inconsistencies between practice and dogmas; moreover, she thinks that many of laboratory tests make it more difficult to analyze the data because of their number and low specificity, so we can see neither solution nor direction in which this problem may be solved.
