What are the Treatment Options for Pulmonary Embolism in Cancer Patients?
Treatment for PE in cancer patients typically involves anticoagulation therapy to prevent further clotting. Common medications include low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), and warfarin. In severe cases, thrombolytic therapy or surgical intervention may be necessary. It's essential to balance the risk of bleeding, particularly in patients with active cancer or those undergoing surgery.
