Recently, the YEARS-algorithm was demonstrated to be a safe and efficient diagnostic strategy for patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). It is recognized that diagnostic algorithms for pulmonary embolism (PE) may not be as effective and safe in patients with malignancy, due to the low specificity of D-dimer test in that setting. A diagnostic algorithm that could safely rule out PE in patients with malignancy without performing computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) could nonetheless improve patient care.
