Managing thrombosis in cancer patients.


ABSTRACT: Venous thromboembolism is a major complication in cancer patients. The basis for the strong association between cancer and thrombosis remains incompletely understood, and the optimal approaches to both the treatment and the prevention of cancer-associated thrombosis are evolving. Here we review several important topics related to cancer-associated thromboembolism, including the pathogenesis, prevention, and management of this disease. Wherever possible, we include evidence from clinical trials, including the results of recently published trials that compared direct oral anticoagulants to low-molecular-weight heparin for the treatment of cancer-associated thrombosis.
