Table 3

Evidence that not all cancers are associated with the same risk of VTE.

Rank	Reference [151]	Reference [152]	Reference [153]	Reference [154]
1	Ovary	Pancreas	Kidney	Bone
2	Pancreas	Head/neck	Pancreas	Ovary
3	Liver	CNS	Gastric	Brain
4	Blood	Upper GI	Brain	Pancreas
5	Brain	Endocrine		Lymph nodes
6	Kidney	Lung		Cervix
7	Lung	Colorectal		Stomach

See particular references for fine details. CNS: central nervous system; GI: gastrointestinal. A model for predicting chemotherapy-associated VTE places more emphasis on cancers of the stomach and pancreas than on cancers of the lung, bladder, testes, lymph nodes, and female reproductive system [12].
