Résumé
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Certain abdominopelvic cancer surgeries are associated with a six to 14-fold increased risk of DVT versus surgeries for benign disease, and extended thromboprophylaxis using perioperative LMWHs may further reduce VTE rates over standard duration administration. This review assesses the value of extended low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) thromboprophylaxis as a recommended strategy after abdominopelvic cancer surgery. Six eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs), seven meta-analyses (MAs), and five non-randomized cohort studies were identified evaluating extended versus standard thromboprophylaxis following abdominopelvic cancer surgery. Available evidence showed significantly reduced rates of VTE for extended versus standard LMWH thromboprophylaxis following abdominopelvic cancer surgery, with some studies showing trends toward reduced rates of symptomatic VTE events. Many of these studies showed significantly reduced rates of proximal DVT and some showed trends toward reduced PE, suggesting potentially important clinical benefits.

BACKGROUND
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Certain abdominopelvic cancer surgeries are associated with a six to 14-fold increased risk of DVT versus surgeries for benign disease, and extended thromboprophylaxis using perioperative LMWHs may further reduce VTE rates over standard duration administration. This review assesses the value of extended low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) thromboprophylaxis as a recommended strategy after abdominopelvic cancer surgery.
DATA SOURCES
Six eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs), seven meta-analyses (MAs), and five non-randomized cohort studies were identified evaluating extended versus standard thromboprophylaxis following abdominopelvic cancer surgery.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Available evidence showed significantly reduced rates of VTE for extended versus standard LMWH thromboprophylaxis following abdominopelvic cancer surgery, with some studies showing trends toward reduced rates of symptomatic VTE events. Many of these studies showed significantly reduced rates of proximal DVT and some showed trends toward reduced PE, suggesting potentially important clinical benefits.
