What are the Treatment Options for DVT in Cancer Patients?
Treatment for DVT in cancer patients typically involves anticoagulation therapy to prevent further clot formation. Common medications include heparin, warfarin, and newer agents like direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). In some cases, a vena cava filter may be placed to prevent clots from reaching the lungs. The choice of treatment depends on various factors including the type of cancer, overall health, and risk of bleeding.
