Platelet count measured prior to cancer development is a risk factor for future symptomatic venous thromboembolism: the Tromsø Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: Elevated platelet count is associated with risk of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients initiating chemotherapy. It is not known whether this risk by platelet count is causal or merely reflects the malignant disease.

Low Platelet Count Predicts Reduced Survival in Potentially Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Current Oncology, 2022 The prognostic role of platelet count in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear, and in fact both thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis are reported as predictors of unfavourable outcomes.

Normal and pathological dynamics of platelets in humans [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology volume 75, pages 1411-1462 (2017), 2016 We develop a comprehensive mathematical model of platelet, megakaryocyte, and thrombopoietin dynamics in humans. We show that there is a single stationary solution that can undergo a Hopf bifurcation, and use this information to investigate both normal and pathological platelet production, specifically cyclic thrombocytopenia.

PLATELET COUNTS AND PLATELET FUNCTION [PDF]
Blood, 1946 Abstract Determinations of the platelet count, clot retraction, bleeding time, capillary fragility, and coagulation time were made in 64 normal subjects and in 404 patients suffering from various diseases. The normal values for the platelet count done by an experienced technician using the Rees and Ecker method were: mean,

Pretreatment platelet count predicts survival outcome of patients with de novo non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Pretreatment platelet count has been reported as a potential tool to predict survival outcome in several solid tumors. However, the predictive value of pretreatment platelet count remains obscure in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML ...
