How are D-Dimer Levels Interpreted in Cancer Patients?
Interpreting D-dimer levels in cancer patients can be complex. Physicians consider the patient's overall clinical picture, including their type and stage of cancer, ongoing treatments, and any symptoms of clotting disorders. Elevated D-dimer levels in cancer patients might necessitate additional diagnostic tests such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI to locate and assess potential clots.
