Résumé

Venous thrombotic events (VTEs) are a frequent complication of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and are associated with increased morbidity. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are revolutionizing the management of NSCLC, but little is known about their impact on thrombosis. This study aims to define the incidence and clinical relevance of VTEs in NSCLC patients receiving these treatments.
