@InspiraMeded I don’t think there’s a benefit to placing a patient on prophylaxis. More testing needs to be completed - the 4.2% versus 10.2% VTE in AVERT trial is significant and needs more testing. I also don’t think routine US is indicated. /2
@InspiraMeded Certainly, specific agents have an increased VTE risk such as TKIs, Thalidomide agents, VEGF inhibitors, Tamoxifen, Platinum agents so the type of cancer and the agent will definitely play a role in risk of VTE. /1
