Core Tip	The Khorana risk score (KRS) has poor predictive value for cancer-associated thrombosis in a single tumor type but is associated with early all-cause mortality from cancer. In Japanese patients with gastric and colorectal cancer, the prechemotherapy baseline of KRS was independently associated with all-cause mortality within 2 years. The concept of time-sensitive management needs to be established for clinicians and community workers as well. The earlier the stratified intervention for patients with intermediate/high KRS, the more likely long-term survival benefit will be achieved.
