hemorrhagic shock:

How Does Cancer Cause Hemorrhagic Shock?

Several mechanisms are involved in the onset of hemorrhagic shock in cancer patients:
1. Tumor Rupture: Certain cancers, especially those in highly vascular regions (e.g., liver, spleen), can rupture and cause massive internal bleeding.
2. Invasive Procedures: Surgical interventions, biopsies, or other invasive procedures can inadvertently damage blood vessels, leading to significant bleeding.
3. Coagulopathies: Some cancers and their treatments, such as chemotherapy, can lead to coagulopathies, increasing the risk of hemorrhage.
