Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: PATIENTS/METHODS: RESULTS: Untreated patients were found to have higher APC-SR than healthy controls, and patients with AML had higher APC-SR as compared to the other diagnoses, both findings being consistent with acquired APC resistance. The acquired APC resistance was partly ameliorated with cancer treatment. Decreased levels of protein S and TF pathway inhibitor were inversely correlated to APC resistance. CONCLUSIONS:
