Risk factors for recurrence and major bleeding in patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism

Maria Cristina Vedovati et al.

Summary: Patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) face high risks of recurrence and treatment-emergent bleeding, but factors associated with these risks are not well-defined. This study analyzed patients included in the Caravaggio study to identify risk factors for recurrent VTE and major bleeding in cancer-associated VTE. Independent risk factors for recurrent VTE included deep vein thrombosis as the initial event, ECOG status of 1 or more, pancreatic or hepatobiliary cancer site, concomitant anti-cancer treatment, and creatinine clearance. Independent risk factors for major bleeding included ECOG status of 2, genitourinary or upper gastrointestinal cancer site, and non-resected luminal gastrointestinal cancer. Understanding these predictors can help optimize anticoagulant treatment in cancer-associated VTE patients.

Low dose apixaban as secondary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients-30 months follow-up

Trine-Lise Larsen et al.

Summary: For cancer patients, reducing the dosage of apixaban to 2.5 mg twice daily after 6 months of full-dose treatment seems to be safe, and the incidence rate of recurrent VTE and major bleeding remains low thereafter.

Direct Oral Anticoagulants Compared With Dalteparin for Treatment of Cancer-Associated Thrombosis: A Living, Interactive Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis

Irbaz Bin Riaz et al.

Summary: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are more effective and safe than low-molecular-weight heparin in the treatment of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) in adults. Apixaban and rivaroxaban are more effective than dalteparin in reducing recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) events. Edoxaban has a higher risk of major bleeding compared to dalteparin, while rivaroxaban has a higher risk of clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding compared to dalteparin and other DOACs. There are no significant differences between DOACs in terms of VTE recurrences and major bleeding.

Estimating Bleeding Risk in Patients with Cancer-Associated Thrombosis: Evaluation of Existing Risk Scores and Development of a New Risk Score

Maria A. de Winter et al.

Summary: The study compared different methods of estimating clinically relevant bleeding risk in patients with CAT, finding that existing risk scores performed poorly while a pragmatic classification based on cancer type provided slightly better estimates. Further improvement may be possible with a new prediction model, but external validation is needed.

Apixaban and Dalteparin for the Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients with Different Sites of Cancer

Giancarlo Agnelli et al.

Summary: The efficacy and safety of anticoagulant treatment for VTE may vary in patients with different cancer sites. Oral apixaban is considered a valid alternative to subcutaneous dalteparin for the treatment of cancer-associated VTE, with no significant differences in recurrence rates or major bleeding observed across different cancer types.

Risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with gastrointestinal cancer using edoxaban

Floris T. M. Bosch et al.

Summary: In gastrointestinal cancer patients receiving edoxaban, advanced cancer and low hemoglobin levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. However, further research is needed to identify other risk factors.

Summary: The risk of mortality is lower in obese VTE patients compared to patients with a normal BMI, while underweight VTE patients have the highest risk of mortality and major bleeding.

Bleeding in Patients With Gastrointestinal Cancer Compared With Nongastrointestinal Cancer Treated With Apixaban, Rivaroxaban, or Enoxaparin for Acute Venous Thromboembolism

Damon E. Houghton et al.

Summary: The study compared bleeding risk in patients with GI cancer and non-GI cancer receiving anticoagulation for acute Ca-VTE, finding that there was no significant difference in major bleeding or CRNMB between the two groups. Apixaban had a higher rate of major bleeding in patients with luminal GI cancer compared to non-GI cancer and to enoxaparin in luminal GI cancer patients, while rivaroxaban showed no increased risk of major bleeding in GI cancer patients.
