Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication in cancer patients and negatively affects prognosis. Colorectal cancer (CRC) has the second highest incidence of VTE among the four most common cancers. In locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a biomarker of residual disease and tumor burden, but its association with thrombotic risk remains unclear. We...
