Abstract:
Compared to the general population, cancer patients are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism with significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Appropriate prophylaxis as well as early diagnosis and treatment are therefore mandatory. However, anticoagulation of cancer patients is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and recurrence. To meet these challenges, national and international guidelines for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer have been published. We provide a summary of these specific recommendations.
