Sažetak
Deep venous thrombosis is the second most common cause of death in cancer patients. Patients with cancer are at heightened risk of venous and arterial thromboembolism due to the hypercoagulable state. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immobilization of the cancer patients heighten this risk even more. Having in mind all the pre- and intraoperative prognostic factors, we are capable to prevent and reduce possible complications. Low-molecular-weight heparin is proven to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of the thrombotic complications. There are numerous studies reporting on improved survival of cancer patients treated with LMW heparin.
