The association between malignancy and thrombosis has long been appreciated but remains incompletely understood. This is the first of a two-part review of the complex, integral relationship between these two entities, and addresses the mechanisms and pathogenesis of this relationship and the clinical risk factors for thromboembolism in cancer patients.
