This study aimed to determine whether thromboembolism incidence differed between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor use in patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer, and to compare the risk of thromboembolism caused by cancer and the use of molecular targeted therapy drugs. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is Thromboembolism.
