Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and risk of venous thromboembolism in endometrial cancer

Objectives: Our recent studies have demonstrated that surgical menopause after oophorectomy results in a significantly increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in endometrial cancer. In addition, venous thromboembolism (VTE) is known to be one of the major prognostic factors for decreased survival in endometrial cancer. Given the role of coagulation factor production in the liver, we examined whether NAFLD correlates with VTE in endometrial cancer.
