Why and how does metastatic cancer cause circulation problems like blood clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly known: About 10% of people diagnosed with an unprovoked dvt/pe will be found to have cancer within 12 months. The relationship is not fully understood, but it is believed that cancer causes an inflammatory response which activates coagulation factors.
