Abstract:Background
Venous thromboembolism is a common complication in patients with colorectal cancer who exhibit high homocysteine and low folate levels. However, whether venous thrombosis is the result of a direct effect of folic acid or the presence of a homocysteine-mediated mediating effect cannot be determined. This study aimed to explore the association and mediating effects of serum folate and homocysteine on venous thromboembolism in patients with colorectal cancer.
