Khorana Score Unable to Stratify Patients With Certain Cancer Subtypes by Risk of Venous Thromboembolism
Researchers sought to determine whether the Khorana score would be able to risk-stratify patients according to the 6-month risk of incident VTE.
Thromboembolism
Blood Type Linked to Venous Thromboembolism Risk in Patients With Cancer
Researchers sought to explore potential links between blood type, risk of venous thromboembolism, and cancer type in patients with cancer.
Oral Apixaban Valid, Patient-Friendly for Cancer-Associated Venous Thromboembolism
A new study suggests apixaban may be a potential treatment for cancer-associated venous thromboembolism, with possible variation in outcomes by cancer site.
