Key result
Study evaluates anticoagulant therapy outcomes for cancer-associated VTE during active cancer and after remission.
Why the study?
To examine the outcomes of anticoagulant therapy for patients with VTE with active cancer and the outcomes after cancer remission with and without anticoagulant therapy.
Does completing anticoagulant therapy improve outcomes compared to continuing it in patients with cancer-associated VTE after cancer remission?
Does completing anticoagulant therapy improve outcomes compared to continuing it in patients with cancer-associated VTE after cancer remission?
Discontinuing anticoagulant therapy after cancer remission in patients with cancer-associated VTE is associated with high event-free survival and low recurrence rates, suggesting it is safe and reduces bleeding risk compared to continuing therapy.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support discontinuing anticoagulation after remission to lower bleeding; leaves open need for RCTs to guide practice.
Objectives: To examine the outcomes of anticoagulant therapy for patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) with active cancer and the outcomes after cancer remission with and without anticoagulant therapy.
