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.
In this 30 minute Expert Panel Discussion featuring Dr Damian Flanagan, Dr Amanda Hugman and Dr Jenny Liu, two patient cases are presented and their history, presentation, diagnosis and outcome are discussed with emphasis around optimal management of VTE during active cancer.
Also watch and participate in ‘Cancer-associated Thrombosis. Up to date knowledge for GP’s on diagnosing and treating DVT in patients with cancer.’
This educational activity was developed by MDBriefCase at the request, and with funding from BMS & Pfizer Alliance.
