Venous thromboembolism rates in patients with bone and soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities following surgical resection: A systematic review.

There is a high VTE rate following sarcoma surgery. The VTE rate is higher in bone sarcoma surgery, which may be attributed to differences in surgery and postoperative recovery. There was no consensus on the duration or type of thromboprophylaxis used. Future research is needed to determine the most effective thromboprophylaxis regimen in patients with sarcoma and whether individualized thromboprophylaxis is required.
