“…Two prior retrospective cohort studies of 264 and 99 ALKþ lung cancer patients reported a TEE incidence of 30% and 36%, respectively, much higher than historically reported rates in the general lung cancer population. 12,13 Although our study reported a shorter period of follow-up for TEEs, it also reproduced the observation that ALKþ patients are at increased risk of developing TEEs.…”

“…Despite prior studies showing an association between cancer-associated thrombosis and worse survival, our study did not show worse survival in the subgroups that developed a TEE, both in the overall study cohort and across molecular driver groups. 6,12 Possible reasons for this different observation include insufficient duration of follow-up and potentially insufficient sample size. Considering the prolonged disease control feasible from targeted therapies among ROSþ, ALKþ, and EGFRþ patients, it is also possible that subsequent TEE propensity and its associated risks on survival may be abrogated by highly active anti-cancer therapy.…”
