Increased thromboembolic incidence in anti-cardiolipin-positive patients with malignancy.

Abstract:

:This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACLAs) in patients with malignancy and to investigate a possible association of ACLAs with thromboembolic events in such patients. The study included 216 patients with solid and non-solid malignancies and an age-matched control group of 88 healthy subjects. ACLA levels were measured and related to thromboembolic phenomena (diagnosed by imaging methods) that occurred within 12 months of the diagnosis of cancer. Forty-seven patients (approximately 22%) with cancer were ACLA positive as compared with only three subjects (approximately 3%) in the control group (P < 0.0001). The ACLA-positive cancer patients had a significantly higher rate of thromboembolic events than ACLA-negative cancer patients: 13 of 47 (28%) vs 24 of 169 (14%), respectively (P < 0.05). High titres of either IgG-ACLA or IgM-ACLA were found in 10 out of 13 ACLA-positive cancer patients with thrombotic complications, but in only 2 out of 34 cancer ACLA-positive patients without thromboembolic events (P < 0.0001). In four cancer patients in whom ACLA levels were followed ACLA decreased after successful surgery/chemotherapy treatment and remained negative and thromboembolic free for 12 months of follow-up. Patients with malignancies show an increased prevalence of ACLA. Furthermore, ACLA-positive patients, mainly those with high titres, are much more prone to thromboembolic events.
