Treatment for thromboembolism in cancer patients often combines anticoagulation therapy with management of the underlying cancer:
- Anticoagulants: Medications such as heparin, warfarin, and newer agents like direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are commonly used. - Thrombolytic Therapy: In severe cases, medications that dissolve clots may be administered. - Compression Stockings: These can help reduce the risk of clot formation in the legs.
