Cancer-Associated VTE: Balancing Risk and Reward with Modern Anticoagulation

  • Summary

  • Reducing barriers to adequate anticoagulation for patients with cancer improves outcomes for those with cancer-associated venous thromboembolisms (CA-VTEs). Advances in cancer treatments and the resulting improvements in patient survival have led to an increase in the number of patients with cancer who develop a VTE at some point during their treatment (around 15%). CA-VTE is associated with decreased survival, increased morbidity and hospitalization, and the potential delay or interruption of systemic anti-cancer therapy. During this series, our faculty will expand clinician knowledge of VTE risk factors and management strategies, discuss optimal anticoagulation therapy selection and guideline adherence, and explore approaches to working with multidisciplinary teams.

    In this 60-minute program, expert faculty will review CA-VTE risk factors and management strategies, discuss optimal anticoagulation therapy selection and guideline adherence, and explore approaches to working with multidisciplinary teams. Clinicians can expect to gain valuable insight that will help them understand and overcome barriers to adequate anticoagulant therapy for patients with cancer.
