Effects of surgical thrombectomy on the treatment of prostate cancer complicated with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities

Objective: To investigate the effects of surgical thrombectomy on the treatment of prostate cancer complicated with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities. Methods: Between June 2015 and December 2016, 96 patients of prostate cancer complicated with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity who were admitted to Hangzhou Cancer Hospital were included into this study. The patients were randomly divided into Observation group and control group according to the random number table method and the difference of intervention measures (surgical thrombectomy vs drug therapy). Platelet (PLT), fibrinogen (Fbg), prothrombin time (PT) and new thrombosis rate were observed before and after treatment within 2 weeks. Results: Before treatment, there was no significant difference in PLT, Fbg and PT between the two groups (P>0.05). PLT and Fbg decreased significantly in the two groups after treatment, and the decrease in the observation group was more significant (P<0.05). The thrombosis rate (4.35%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (16.00%), and the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Surgical thrombectomy is more effective than drug intervention in the treatment of prostate cancer with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity. It can be further studied as a preferred protocol.
