Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and life-threatening complication in cancer patients. Cancer patients often suffer from multiple co‐morbidities and have both a greater risk of VTE recurrence and bleeding compared to noncancer patients. For many years, long-term therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) has been the standard of care for the management of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), but recent randomized controlled trials have indicated that direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are also effective. With the emergence of DOAC as a new option in the treatment of CAT, clinicians are now facing a multitude of choices for each individual patient. A personalized approach, matching the right drug to the right patient based on drug properties, efficacy and safety, the side effect profile of each drug, and patient preference will thus probably supplant the one size fits all approach in the future. This Special Issue will cover the current clinical evidence supporting the standard of care and emerging treatment options for CAT. Data on adherence to CAT clinical practice guidelines and evidence on anticoagulant effects on the quality-of-life perception in cancer patients will be also welcomed.
