Abstract: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) poses a significant risk in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly those with driver mutations, such as in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). While the Khorana Score is commonly used to predict VTE risk in general oncology patients, its relevance in genetically defined subgroups, such as EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients, remains unclear. This retrospective study evaluated the correlation between the Khorana Score and VTE incidence in 47 advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients receiving first-line osimertinib at the Inova Schar Cancer Institute.
