Aim: to assess a rate and range of genetic and acquired thrombophilia in onco-gynecologic patients with ovarian cancer, uterine corpus cancer and cervical cancer.Materials and Мethods. A prospective controlled cohort non-randomized interventional study was conducted: within the years 2014 to 2020, there were examined 546 women with genital malignancies, divided into 2 groups: group I – 155 cancer patients with former thrombosis, group II – 391 women with female genital cancer without former thrombotic complications. Control group consisted of 137 patients with benign female genital tumors. The spectrum of circulating APA was studied: antibodies to â2-glycoprotein I (â2-GPI), annexin V and prothrombin as well as genetic thrombophilia due to mutations genes encoding factor V Leiden, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) including polymorphism in genes for prothrombin, platelet glycoproteins and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1).Results. It was found that frequency of circulating APA as well as incidence rate of genetic thrombophilia between cancer patients from group I vs. group II significantly differed: APA in group I vs. group II was 86 (55.5 %; p < 0.01) vs. 92 (23.5 %) compared to 7 (5.1 %) in control group. Genetic thrombophilia was dominated in group I by mutated MTHFR (92.9 %), polymorphismin PAI-1 (28.4 %) and platelet glycoprotein (44.5 %) that were significantly higher (p < 0.05) compared to group II and control group. Hence, it allows to suggest that such identified thrombophilia markers are largely associated with a risk of developing thrombotic complications.Conclusion. Detected high percentage of patients with circulating APA and genetic thrombophilia among cancer patients with former thromboembolic complications corroborate a role for genetic and acquired thrombophilia in developing pre-thrombotic condition. Detecting a range of circulating APA and genetic thrombophilia allows to identify patients who might be referred to a high risk of thrombogenesis and require to preventive application of anticoagulant therapy.
