15265 - ISTH "Tissue Factor and Cancer"

 

Dr. Ruf’s presentation will cover mechanisms supported by the tissue factor (TF) pathway in primary tumor growth and metastasis. Interventional strategies to block TF’s procoagulant and signaling activities in malignancy will be discussed.

Tissue factor-positive microparticles in cancer-associated thrombosis – Nigel Mackman

Dr. Mackman’s presentation will describe the measurement of tissue factor (TF)-positive microparticles (MPs) in plasma samples from cancer patients. It will also summarize studies that show a relationship between elevated levels of MP-TF activity and VTE in pancreatic cancer patients but not other types of cancer patients. Other mechanisms of cancer-associated thrombosis will be discussed.

Target Audience

Physician scientists and translational research in thrombosis and hemostasis research and oncology

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, I will be able to:

  • Understand the contributions of TF initiated coagulation and cell signaling to tumor progression
  • Obtain an overview of preclinical efficacy of inhibitors targeting TF in animal models of metastasis and tumor growth
  • Acquire insights into open questions and directions of translational research in the field of cancer and thrombosis
  • Provide information on the strengths and weaknesses of the different methods to measure levels of TF+ MPs in plasma samples from patients.
  • The potential utility of MP-TF activity as a biomarker of thrombotic risk in patients will be discussed.
