Platelet turnover in metastatic cancer and the effect of platelet aggregation inhibitors
Abstract
Patients with metastatic cancer have a permanent shortening of platelet survival and increased platelet consumption. Acetylsalicylic acid or dipyridamole in doses known to inhibit platelet aggregation, had no effect on platelet consumption.
