What are the Treatment Options for Thrombosis in Cancer Patients?
Treatment of thrombosis in cancer patients can be challenging and needs to be individualized. Common treatments include:
Anticoagulants: Medications that help prevent new clots from forming and existing clots from growing. Compression Stockings: These can help reduce swelling and discomfort in the affected limb. Thrombolytic Therapy: In severe cases, medications can be used to dissolve clots. Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter: A device implanted to prevent clots from traveling to the lungs.
