Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to prospectively validate the safety and efficiency of management according to the YEARS algorithm to safely rule out clinically suspected PE in patients with active malignancy to be compared with 'standard' management by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) alone in a randomized study.
Detailed Description:
Recently, the YEARS-algorithm was demonstrated to be a safe and efficient diagnostic strategy for patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). It is recognized that diagnostic algorithms for pulmonary embolism (PE) may not be as effective and safe in patients with malignancy, due to the low specificity of D-dimer test in that setting. A diagnostic algorithm that could safely rule out PE in patients with malignancy without performing computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) could nonetheless improve patient care.
