venous thrombosis, cancer, anticoagulation.Abstract
Venous thromboembolic disease is a frequent and serious clinic complication in cancer patients. Risk is higher in those with metastatic disease, and thrombosis related with cancer is associated with lower survival rates. Anticoagulation is the main treatment, usually continued for a long time, carrying risk for bleeding events. Despite anticoagulation, a high rate of recurrences is described. Venous thrombosis and cancer is a major therapeutic challenge and requires a comprehensive management. We present the case of a 55-year-old male with clear cell renal carcinoma and associated venous thromboembolic disease.
