Abstract

There are only a few reports in the literature about the effect of recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) in patients with solid carcinoma with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). A retrospective study of 40 patients with solid carcinoma with DIC was performed between February 2009 and April 2013. The withdrawal rate was 32.5% (13/40 patients), and the 28-day survival rate was 40.0% (16/40 patients). Patients with successful withdrawal of DIC had significantly better outcomes (p<.001). Therapy with rTM is one of the treatment options for patients with solid carcinoma with DIC.
