Bleeding and thrombosis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Cancer can lead to both bleeding and thrombosis. Bleeding can be due to the characteristics of the cancer - especially common in hematological malignancies - or due to antineoplastic treatment. Often treatment of the underlying neoplasm also lessens the bleeding issues. Thrombosis and cancer is a classic association. Newer data shows the direct oral anticoagulants can be an effective and simple therapy.
