The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer patients is overall increased
by 4 to 6.5 fold compared to the general population and affects up to 20% of patients
with cancer, and represents a leading cause of death in this population [
[1]
]. However, individual VTE risk in cancer subjects widely varies depending on the specific
patient-, treatment-, and cancer-related factors [
