Anticoagulation is the cornerstone of cancer-associated VTE treatment, including vitamin K antagonists (VKA), unfractionated heparin (UFH), fondaparinux, low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). The goals of anticoagulant therapy in cancer patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) are to improve symptoms, reduce risk of recurrent VTE or fatal pulmonary embolism (PE), and decrease the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Although LMWH have been the standard of care for a long time for VTE treatment in cancer patients, showing superiority over the classic VKA, in the recent years the landscape of anticoagulant therapy has significantly changed with the inclusion of DOACs in this population.
