| Abstract |
New oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are likely to have a major impact in the next few years, changing clinical practice of anticoagulation therapy. Evidence on its efficacy and superiority to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in treating non-cancer patients have been reported in a few clinical trials. However, patients with cancer are complicated by the prothrombotic nature of the disease, need for potentially invasive surgery and interventions, and altered drug handling. This chapter examines the available evidence and guidelines on the use of NOAC in patients with cancer. |
