Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women in China, and the mortality rate ranks fourth, and both of them show an increasing trend. Clinically, breast cancer patients are recommended to have an indwelling central venous catheter for chemotherapy, which has a long indwelling time and can effectively avoid osmotic damage caused by drug extravasation. Catheterization can easily lead to thrombosis, also known as catheter-related thrombosis. This paper summarizes the research status of central venous thrombosis in breast cancer, and summarizes the incidence and risk factors, aiming to provide reference for the risk assessment, diagnosis and prevention of catheter-related thrombosis.
