Background: The aim was to evaluate factor XIII activity (FXIIIa) and monocyte-derived microparticles (MDMPs) in cancer patients. Methods: In total, 138 cancer patients (31 malignant lymphomas, 39 multiple myelomas, and 68 lung cancers) were analyzed. We measured various biomarkers including FXIIIa and MDMPs. Results: The values of endothelial activation markers, monocyte chemoattractant peptide (MCP)-1, soluble (s)CD14, and MDMPs were higher in cancer patients than in noncancerous controls. MCP-1, sCD14, and MDMPs were significantly correlated with FXIIIa in multivariate analysis in cancer patients. In addition, MCP-1, sCD14, and MDMP levels were significantly increased in the high FXIIIa group of patients. Finally, the survival rate of the high FXIIIa group was significantly poor in the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Conclusion: These results suggest that abnormal levels of FXIIIa and MDMPs may offer promise as poor prognostic factors in cancer patients.
