- cancer anticoagulant
Anticoagulant is a substance that is used to prevent and treat blood clots in blood vessels and the heart. Also called blood thinner. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- As an example, should the treatment of thromboembolic disease be any different for cancer patients than it is for noncancer patients? One concern is that cancer patients who are anticoagulated might have an increased risk of hemorrhage due to tumor, thrombocytopenia, or concurrent coagulation disorders. Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which there is a lower-than-normal number of platelets in the blood. It may result in easy bruising and excessive bleeding from wounds or bleeding in mucous membranes and other tissues. Tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Tumors may be benign (not cancer), or malignant (cancer). Also called neoplasm. Hemorrhage is in medicine, loss of blood from damaged blood vessels. A hemorrhage may be internal or external, and usually involves a lot of bleeding in a short time.
- One can view, thromboembolic complications in patients with advanced cancer anticoagulation versus. Advanced cancer, cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment.
- It is clear that, recurrent VTE in cancer patients on anticoagulant therapy is not uncommon. Prandoni [29] showed that recurrent VTE in oncology patients was 1.72 times more likely than for patients without cancer. Oncology is the study of cancer. Therapy, treatment.
