ABSTRACT
Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a common complication and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with active cancers. CAT is common in various malignancies, particularly pancreatic, ovarian, gastric, colorectal, and hematologic cancers. In fact, CAT is a complicated multifactorial complication that may be influenced by the type of cancer as well as by the genetic background and inheritance of thrombophilic variants and elevated concentrations of coagulation factors. Several studies have shown the prominent role of inherited thrombophilias, such as prothrombin 20210, factor V Leiden, factor XIII Val34Leu, MTHFR C677T, in the occurrence of CAT, while others have found no correlation between them and CAT. In the present review, we have attempted to investigate the possible role of inherited thrombophilia in the occurrence of CAT.
