Association between EV or plasma TF activity and VTE and mortality in cancer patients

ReferenceTumor typeNo. of patients with VTE/total no. of patients%AssayVTEMortality
19 Pancreatic 5/23 22 EVTF activity Higher EVTF activity in patients with VTE vs patients without VTE* ↑EVTF activity associated with mortality 
 Breast 2/27    
24 Pancreatic 2/10 20 EVTF activity 2 patients with serial increases in EVTF activity had VTE ND 
20 Pancreatic 12/60 20 EVTF activity Hazard ratio (per doubling of EVTF activity) pancreatic, 1.6; stomach, 0.7; brain, 0.9. All nonsignificant (borderline for pancreatic). ↑EVTF activity associated with mortality in pancreatic cancer but not in other cancers 
 Stomach 6/43 14    
 Colorectal 12/126    
 Brain 19/119 16    
21 Pancreatic and biliary 52/117 45 EVTF activity ↑EVTF activity in patients (3.07 ± 5.2) with VTE vs patients without (1.4 ± 1.5) (P = .01) ↑EVTF activity associated with mortality 
23 17 different types of cancers 11/60 11 EVTF activity EVTF activity was not associated with VTE. ↑EVTF activity associated with mortality 
22 9 different types of cancers 40/648 6.1 TF-dependent fibrin generation ↑Fibrin generation associated with VTE. ND 
NP Pancreatic 1/13 EVTF activity 1 pancreatic cancer patient with ↑EVTF activity had VTE 2 pancreatic cancer patients with ↑EVTF activity died
