Popis: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. Arterial thromboembolism, including myocardial infarction and stroke, is also prevalent. Risk differs in subgroups, with higher rates observed in specific cancers including pancreas, stomach, and multiple myeloma. Thromboprophylaxis is recommended for most patients with active cancer hospitalized for medical illnesses and after major cancer surgery. Outpatient thromboprophylaxis is not routinely recommended, but emerging data suggest that a high-risk population that benefits from pharmacological thromboprophylaxis can be identified using a validated risk tool. Direct oral anticoagulants are emerging as the preferred new option for the treatment of cancer-associated VTE, although low-molecular-weight heparin remains a standard for patients at high bleeding risk. Management of VTE beyond the first 6 months and challenging clinical situations including intracranial metastases and thrombocytopenia require careful management in balancing the benefits and risks of anticoagulation and remain major knowledge gaps in evidence.
Central Illustration
Highlights • Patients with cancer are at increased risk of VTE and ATE, with significant consequences including mortality. • RAMs combining clinical and biochemical parameters can identify high-risk patients. • Thromboprophylaxis should be considered for patients identified as high-risk for VTE. • DOACs are an emerging option for acute VTE treatment, although LMWH remains an acceptable standard. • There are limited data that address the management of ATE in patients with cancer. • A multidisciplinary approach with the oncologist and cardiologist is currently recommended.
