Abstract (english)
Objectives. Thrombosis is an increasingly recognized complication of childhood malignancy and its treatment. The incidence and etiology of pediatric cancer-related thrombosis is still not well understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the preva- lence of common prothrombotic genetic conditions in children with cancer, the frequency of thrombosis, and the role of inher- ited thrombophilia in the development of thrombosis in a pediatric oncology population. Patients and Methods. Forty-seven children (36 treated for hematological malignancies and 11 for solid tumors) with a median age of 8.8. years (range 0.4 – 19.3 years) were included in the study. Genetic polymorphisms of Factor V Leiden (G1691A), prothrombin G20210A, and methy- lenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction-based DNA analysis. Results. Four (8.5%) patients were heterozygous for Factor V Leiden, 3 (6.4%) were heterozygous for prothrombin G20210A mutation, and 3 (6.4%) were homozygous for MTHFR C677T mutation. All patients had implanted central venous catheters. Four (8.5%) children had documented thrombosis, three of which were in the upper venous system. Two of the four patients with thrombosis had Factor V Leiden heterozygosity. Conclusions. Thrombosis is an important complication of childhood cancer. The risk of thrombosis may be increased in patients with Factor V Leiden. In the absence of consensus guidelines, our results support the recommendation for thrombophilia screening in children with cancer.
