DVT's/Clotting issues and Colorectal Cancer...

[Guest guest]

Hi all..I had a question regarding clotting issues and Colorectal

cancer. When I looked up Thrombophlebitis (I went to the ER with it

on Monday night) it mentioned that certain types of cancers put you at

a higher risk...colorectal being one of them. Has anyone reserached

this? Do they have any idea what the link is? My dad started having

DVT problems before his cancer was DX'd...Now, I've had a few

different clotting issues. Thankfully all in semi superficial veins

so far. Is it something that goes along with the gene mutation.

SOrry for all the questions...I was jsut wondering about this but

don't really have time to hunt down the info today. THanks so much...
