| Core Tip |
Patients with cancer, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are effective, as are low-molecular-weight heparin, in preventing new blood clots. DOACs raise the risk of bleeding, mainly in the digestive tract and urinary organs. Patients choose DOACs since they improve their quality of life and are convenient. Doctors have to consider the cancer type, possibility of bleeding and platelet levels before deciding on the treatment. Taking into account what the patient wants and what the medical team considers best is necessary. Anticoagulation treatment can be improved in multidisciplinary thrombosis programs, emphasizing the importance of providing ongoing information and support to patients. |
