Inflammation and thrombotic risk in late-stage cervical cancer: An exploratory study of coagulation and cytokine profiles in a South African cohort
These findings suggest a potential link between inflammation and thrombosis in cervical cancer patients. However, due to this study's small sample size and exploratory nature, direct relationships between these factors have yet to be definitively established and remain speculative. Thrombotic risk profiling may still offer value in managing patients, but further investigation is required to confirm these preliminary observations.
