How is Warfarin Monitoring Conducted in Cancer Patients?
Monitoring Warfarin involves regular blood tests to measure the INR, which indicates how long it takes for blood to clot. Cancer patients often require more frequent INR checks due to the variable effects of cancer treatments on Warfarin metabolism. Adjustments to the Warfarin dose are made based on INR results to maintain the desired therapeutic range and reduce the risk of both clotting and bleeding.
