Es with as a consequence that the probability of having clinical signs of thrombotic events during the follow-up was limited; (ii) twoof the patients were administered irradiation and hormone therapy fro the 6th postoperative week; (iii) not all the data series showed Gaussian distribution, which decreased the statistical power; and (iv) there are other specific laboratory tests evaluating procoagulant activity, which were not evaluated in our study. In conclusion, our study contributed to the knowledge of the pathophysiology of the hypercoagulable state of prostate cancer patients undergoing major pelvic surgery. Recent studies provided evidence that measurement of thrombin generation identifies patients at risk of venous thromboembolism [10], [6], It’s well known fact that surgical therapy of pelvic malignancies mean an additional risk of venous thromboembolism due to the nature of the intervention and the disease, but the stage of hypercoagulability during the postoperative period of radical prostatectomy has not been demonstrated yet. The goal of our present study was to evaluate this level with the use of a test which usefulness was proven by other studies. Although our case number was low to reach statistical probability for clinical thrombotic events, our results and recent articles present the power of thrombin generation test to detect such a high increase of the hypercoag-Thrombin Generation after JSI124 Prostatectomyulability, which indicate the risk of thrombotic events as shown in large studies [10]. Factors influencing thrombotic risk are still not well defined but our results suggest that increased narcosis and BMI may contribute to procoagulant activity in 18297096 the postoperative period, but this statement needs further assessment. Our study together with recently published papers assessing risk factors for arterial or venous thromboembolism suggests the need for individual anticoagulant and antiplatelet management plan likely to achieve a low incidence of thrombosis and prevent bleeding. [21]. To reach this goal, multidisciplinary approach is desirable. Further evaluation of the hypercoagulable state in the postoperative period would lead urologists to an international and well supported consensus where e.g. anticoagulant treatment isconsidered for the first month only in order to provide a better clinical outcome.AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank Professor Hans Deckmyn for the careful correction of the manuscript.

NT 157 chemical information Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a lifethreatening complication that develops as a consequence of ineffective T-cell function due to immunosuppressive therapy in recipients of hematopoietic stem cell (HSCT) or solid organ transplantation (SOT). PTLD is associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection of B cells and encompasses a heterogeneous group of disorders ranging from benign mononucleosis-like illnesses to aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas [1]. EBV is an oncogenic herpes virus that is linked with several malignant disorders, including Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, gastric cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma [2]. The EBV genome is a 172 kb dou.Es with as a consequence that the probability of having clinical signs of thrombotic events during the follow-up was limited; (ii) twoof the patients were administered irradiation and hormone therapy fro the 6th postoperative week; (iii) not all the data series showed Gaussian distribution, which decreased the statistical power; and (iv) there are other specific laboratory tests evaluating procoagulant activity, which were not evaluated in our study.
