[Pancreatic neoplasms and risk of thrombosis].

Among all cancers of the pancreas, the liver and the bile ducts with icterus terminal lung embolism ist seldomer then among the same cancers without icterus. The risk of terminal lung embolism is among all tumours of the abdominal region higher than among all tumours of the thorax region, because the compression of the vena cava inferior increases the risk of thrombosis with lung embolism. The prevalence of adenocarcinoma among all cases with lung embolism is caused by the fact, that cancers of the abdomen are more frequent adenocarcinomas then all other tumours.
