What are the Treatment Options for CVD in Cancer Patients?
Treating CVD in cancer patients requires a multidisciplinary approach to manage both the venous disease and the underlying cancer. Treatment options include:
Compression Therapy: Wearing compression stockings can help improve venous return and reduce symptoms. Medications: Anticoagulants or blood thinners may be prescribed to prevent and treat venous thromboembolism. Sclerotherapy: A procedure where a solution is injected into varicose veins, causing them to collapse and fade. Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): A minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to close off varicose veins. Surgery: In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove or repair damaged veins.
