Background: Gynecologic cancer is a significant public health concern worldwide, with three of the top ten most common cancers affecting women. The increasing incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the disproportionately poor outcomes in cancer patients necessitates urgent intervention. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the survivability of cancer patients with DVT, especially among gynecologic and non-gynecologic cancers. Methods: An ambispective cohort study was conducted among gynecologic and non-gynecologic cancer patients with DVT, from January 2011 until August 2013. Results: Among 223 cancer subjects with DVT, 61.4% of the subjects developed short-term mortality. In the overall group, the survival time was significantly lower in subjects who developed immobilization status (p-value Conclusions: Both gynecologic and non-gynecologic cancer patients who experienced DVT developed a high short-term mortality. Our finding of immobility, infection, advanced cancer stages, systemic therapy, and cancer surgery as risk factor that affect the survivability highlights the necessity of administering secondary prophylaxis as a standard procedure in clinical practice.
