How Can D-Dimer Levels Be Managed in Cancer Patients?
If a cancer patient has elevated D-dimer levels, further evaluation is often warranted to determine the underlying cause. This may include imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scans. Treatment may involve anticoagulant medications to prevent clot formation. The management plan should be individualized based on the patient's overall health, type of cancer, and risk factors for clotting.
