This study yielded three key findings. Firstly, EGFR-TKIs seem to exhibit prothrombotic effects, elevating the risk of TEEs. Secondly, the clinical outcomes of TEEs associated with EGFR-TKIs were poor. Thirdly, most TEEs occurred within the initial 3 months, and fatal cases occurred earlier than non-fatal cases.
