Written by members of the American Society of Clinical Oncology panel, (ASCO), this guide provides an authoritative discussion on strategies to effectively implement and interpret the new ASCO/NCCN directives on the prevention and treatment of cancer-associated thrombosis. The only up-to-date source to examine new translational science findings on the biology of cancer-associated thrombosis, this guide explores the mechanisms, management, and prevention of cancer-associated thrombosis.
This reference covers:
• risk factors associated with cancer-associated thrombosis
• development and utilization of low-molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) in the prevention and treatment of cancer-associated thrombosis
• a summary of the ASCO VTE guidelines by the Co-Chair of the ASCO Panel
• linkage of thrombosis with angiogenesis, role of tissue factor, risk assessment, screening, etiology, and emerging therapies
