The incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients with ovarian cancer is much higher than other gynecologic cancers. Approximate 20% of ovarian cancer patients have hypercoagulable status during different phases of their disease. Ovarian cancer itself can induce hypercoagulability
but meanwhile the over activated coagulation system may promote disease progression. Coagulation system disorder is one of the most important prognostic factors in ovarian cancer. Recently
hypercoagulability becomes a hot spot in the ovarian cancer research field. This article reviews the mechanism of hypercoagulability
its clinical implication and correlated treatment in ovarian cancer patients.
