pubmed:abstractText |
Patients with malignancy have a 4-fold increase in the risk of developing a venous thrombosis and a 3-fold increase in risk of bleeding. Both low-molecular-weight-heparin (LMWH) and vitamin K antagonists (VKA) have been used for treatment of cancer-associated thrombosis. However, the best anticoagulation approach remains a matter of debate.
