Conditions

Glial Tumors, Pulmonary Embolism (Diagnosis), Thrombosis

Keywords

Glial tumors, Thrombosis, thromboelastometry

Brief summary

The objective of our study is to investigate the clinical significance of thromboelastometric values in the development of thrombotic events and survival in patients with glial tumors, to reduce thromboembolic complications and optimize oncological treatment.

Detailed description

The main hypothesis is Adult patients with glial tumors who present a pattern of hypercoagulability in laboratory parameters and/or thromboelastometry have a higher incidence of thromboembolic events and lower survival compared with patients without a hypercoagulability pattern.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTThromboelastometry values: EXTEM CT, MCF, α-angle below the lower limit of normal. Measurement obtained after anesthetic induction. - PT, aPTT, fibrinogen, platelet count. - Thrombin generation. -

* Molecular markers: including Next-Generation Sequencing (Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3 or Oncomine Precision Assay) when available. * MGMT promoter methylation status.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients undergoing surgical excision or biopsy with a diagnostic impression of glial tumor who provide written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

* Patients under 18 years of age. * Emergency surgery. * Patients receiving antiplatelet or anticoagulant treatment. * Patients with known hematologic diseases associated with coagulation abnormalities. Examples include: * Congenital or acquired platelet function disorders. * Congenital deficiency of protein C or protein S. * Deficiency of coagulation factors II, V, VII, X, XII. * Glanzmann thrombasthenia. * Hemophilia A, B, or C. * Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). * von Willebrand disease (types I, II, and III). * Systemic diseases that cause significant coagulation time alterations: * Prothrombin time \< 60%. * Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) \> 50 seconds. * Patients with suspected glial or neuroglial tumor in the context of long-standing epilepsy
