Abstract

Introduction: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common postoperative complication after gynecological oncologic surgeries and can lead to potentially fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT and PE constitute a single disease entity known as venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objective: Determine the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis according to the stage of cervical cancer in women between 30 and 80 years old at the Abel Gilbert Pontón Specialty Hospital during the period 2017-2023. Materials and methods: Observational, retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study, with a population of 107 patients with a diagnosis of cervical cancer and DVT, treated by the oncology department of the Abel Gilbert Pontón Specialty Hospital, the data were obtained by reviewing hospital medical records. Results: The prevalence of the disease was 3.81%, mainly affecting patients between 51 and 60 years of age (40.18%). Stage IIIB cervical cancer was the most common (31.78%). Overweight patients are more susceptible (54.2%). The majority of cases studied were from Guayas (69.16%). The main comorbidities were arterial hypertension (42.9%), type 2 diabetes mellitus (15.8%) and hydronephrosis (15.8%). Conclusion: The largest number of cases are concentrated between 51 and 61 years of age. The stage of cervical cancer with the highest percentage of DVT cases was IIIB. Both pathologies occur mainly in overweight patients. Most of the reported cases were from the province of Guayas. The main associated comorbidity was arterial hypertension.
