Glioblastoma face an increased risk of venous or arterial thromboembolism. Furthermore, the most frequent immune cells in glioblastoma are tumor associated macrophages, which find theirself in an anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype. Increased conjugates between circulating platelets and monocytes reflect an pro-inflammatory status.
