Description
Weipeng Li and six colleagues study whether the change in a clotting marker around surgery predicts dangerous blood clots in womb cancer patients, in a 2026 cohort study. D-dimer is a protein fragment that rises when clots form and break down. Vein clots after surgery are a severe risk in this cancer.
The study followed 307 surgical patients in Fujian from 2022 to 2024. Each unit rise in D-dimer change lifted clot odds by about 20 percent after wide adjustment. The link was not a straight line: below a change value of 3.78 the risk climbed steeply, while above it the risk eased. Blood thinners, infection, and one lab value explained almost none of the pattern. The authors call the findings early signals that tracking the marker's path, not single values, may sharpen risk checks.
