Background: One of the most important prognostic indicators in cancer is the lymph node dissection. Lymphadenectomy considered as a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis in patients with gynecological malignancy who underwent surgery. D-dimer was used to detect deep vein thrombosis, thus, it’s important to predict complications of post-operative Lymphadenectomy. Objective: To predict the risk of deep venous thrombosis by used serum D-dimer and wells score after pelvic lymphadenectomy in gynecological cancer. Patients and method: A cross sectional study conducted in Obstetrics and Gynecology/ ward in medical city, from 1st, January 2021 to 30th, Dec. 2021. A total number of 45 (22 endometrial, 12 ovarian and 11 cervical cancers). Results: The mean±SD level of pre-operative D-dimer in patients with endometrial cancer was (423.2±123.9) while the mean±SD post-operative level was (987±125.1), the mean±SD level of pre-operative D-dimer in patients with ovarian cancer was (602±320.7) while the post-operative was (901.5± 412), mean±SD level of pre-operative D-dimer in patients with cervical cancer was (339±157) while the postoperative was (1214±327), and the mean±SD level of pre-operative D-dimer in all gynecological cancers was (541±167) while the post-operative was (1016±302). The mean±SD of wells score of those who are likely to developed DVT (n=7) in pre-operative was (2.3±0.02) while for those who are unlikely to develop deep vein thrombosis (n=38) was (2.03±0.4) with statistically significant difference (p=0.04) while highly significant difference found in pre- and post-operatively between the group of deep vein thrombosis (p˂0.001). Conclusion: Highly significant increase of post-operative D-dimer in all gynecological cancer patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
