Abstract in brief

Unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) can sometimes be the first indicator of hidden (occult) cancer, with about 5% of cases being diagnosed within a year.
While screening for occult cancer in these patients seems beneficial to reduce cancer-related death and improve quality of life, extensive screening methods like CT scans haven't shown a clear benefit in improving outcomes based on clinical trials.
Current guidelines recommend only limited screening—such as medical history, physical exams, basic lab tests, chest X-ray, and age/gender-specific cancer tests—rather than more aggressive investigations, for detecting hidden cancers in VTE patients.
