5. Cancer and Factor V Leiden
Last Updated: 2/15/2004
Q: Does the chance of getting cancer increase if you have factor V Leiden?
A: No.
It is not likely that there is an association between factor V Leiden (or any other thrombophilic abnormality) and the development of cancer. However, to be scientifically correct, one has to state, that such an association has not been looked for.
