The d-dimer test is poorly specific in the presence of cancer disease and its results are often positive as the consequence of the cancer, the cancer treatments or the concomitant comorbidities. As a result of the poor specificity of the clinical scores and d-dimer test, these initial diagnostic steps have limited usefulness in patients with cancer who often need to undergo ultrasonography. The aim of the current study is to analyze variables that predict the presence of thrombosis and may improve the accuracy of the Wells score.
