Abstract: Background. Cancer-associated hypercoagulability is a well-recognized phenomenon, yet the relationship between systemic hemostatic activation, specific tumor types, and disease burden remains insufficiently characterized. Aim. To investigate whether baseline hemostatic biomarkers correlate with cancer type and stage, and to identify specific procoagulant profiles typical of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer (GC), colorectal cancer (CRC), or breast cancer (BC). Methods. This prospective analysis included 4,292 patients (median age 61; F 2813/M 1445) from the HYPERCAN cohort (NCT02622815) with newly diagnosed NSCLC, GC, CRC, and BC. Pre-chemotherapy plasma samples were analyzed for Thrombin Generation (TG), measured via Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT) at 5 pM TF (Peak and ETP), and for D-dimer, Fibrinogen, Factor VIII (FVIII), and Prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2). Results. The NSCLC, CRC, and GC cohorts included predominantly metastatic cancer patients (67%, 47%, and 53%, respectively), whereas the BC cohort included primarily high-risk resected breast cancer patients (75%). Distinct biomarker profiles emerged across malignancies and stages. NSCLC exhibited the most aggressive procoagulant profile. Metastatic NSCLC patients had the highest median fibrinogen (508 mg/dL) and significantly elevated TG (Peak and ETP) compared with resected cohorts (p
