Hemorrhage in cancer patients can result from several factors:
Tumor invasion: Tumors can erode into blood vessels, leading to bleeding. Chemotherapy: Certain chemotherapy drugs can cause a reduction in platelet count, leading to bleeding disorders. Radiation therapy: Radiation can damage blood vessels, increasing the risk of bleeding. Surgery: Surgical procedures to remove tumors can sometimes result in significant blood loss. Coagulopathy: Some cancers, like leukemia, can disrupt normal blood clotting mechanisms.
