Having lung cancer alone increases the risk of developing blood clots, but some situations increase the risk further. Some of these include:
Surgery – Especially lung cancer surgery
Chemotherapy and some targeted therapies
Inactivity or prolonged bed rest
Other lung diseases such as COPD
Smoking
Travel – Extended travel by car or plane increases the risk of blood clots. This can be a concern for those who need to travel long distances for treatment

You need to watch for two types of symptoms: Those that are due to a clot in your leg, or those that might suggest a clot has traveled to your lungs (pulmonary embolism).

Symptoms of blood clots (DVT):
None – Occasionally a blood clot is present without any symptoms
Leg/calf pain – Especially a cramping type of pain in only one leg
Swelling
Redness
Warmth
Pain with extension of your toes – Pain due to a blood clot usually increases if you point your toes toward your head

Symptoms of pulmonary embolism:
Chest pain – The chest pain associated with a pulmonary embolism is usually worse with coughing and taking a deep breath
Abrupt onset shortness of breath
Lightheadedness or fainting
Coughing up blood (hemoptysis) – It is very important to be aware of this symptom, since lung cancer itself may cause you to cough up blood

Any of the above symptoms should prompt you to call your physician right away.
