Abstract
In this review, we discuss the role of podoplanin in promoting cancer-associated VTE. Since podoplanin is associated with VTE risk in brain tumor patients, it could be a useful biomarker to identify patients at very high VTE risk. Those patients may benefit from primary thromboprophylaxis. In addition, the podoplanin-CLEC-2 axis might serve as an attractive target for new therapies against cancer-associated VTE.
