Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an unfortunately common complication in patients with active cancer. Recent studies suggest that one or more episodes of VTE is experienced by around 15% of patients with cancer throughout the course of their disease. With the recent emergence of data on the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), clinicians involved in the care of cancer patients need to be aware of treatment options for VTE.
