- W2244648524 abstract "18510 Background: To evaluate the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with non small cell lung cancer who take megestrol acetate as an appetite stimulant. Methods: A retrospective study of patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was performed to determine the incidence of deep venous thrombosis. We reviewed medical records of patients with NSCLC who were treated with and without megestrol acetate as an appetite stimulant during the course of their treatment or follow up. Cochran-Mantel-Hansel statistics was performed. Results: We reviewed the charts of 179 patients with NSCLC. 86 patients received megestrol acetate during the course of treatment or follow up whereas 93 did not. Within the treatment group, 28 patients were female and 58 were male. In the control group 43 patients were female and 50 were male. There was no significant difference in the ECOG performance status of those in the treatment group from those in the control group. The frequency of DVT was 3.4 times higher in the treatment group as compared to the control group adjusting for gender (p < 0.02). Similarly, the frequency of DVT was 2.8 times higher in the treatment group as compared to the control group adjusting for stage (P < 0.045). Conclusions: After adjusting for gender or stage, the incidence of DVT appears to be higher for patients with NSCLC who took megestrol acetate as compared to those who did not. Even though megestrol acetate was being used as an appetite stimulant, the observed differences were not due to differences in the performance status of the two groups. Further prospective study of the risks and benefits of megestrol acetate as an appetite stimulant in patients with advanced NSCLC and other malignancies is warranted. No significant financial relationships to disclose." @default.
