Abstract
Among 199 patients treated with thalidomide for multiple myeloma, four thromboses occurred in 49 cases during erythropoietin therapy (prevalence 8.1%; annual rate 7.25%), and another 14 events occurred in patients not on erythropoietin (9.3%; 7.56%). Thus, erythropoietin would seem not to increase the risk of thrombosis of myeloma patients receiving thalidomide.
