In this activity, an expert in venous thromboembolism (VTE) reviews the latest clinical science and guidelines pertaining to cancer-associated VTE prophylaxis and treatment. This video-based program also focuses on strategies to help learners prepare for the practical integration of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in cancer-associated VTE and illustrates how this development can lead to clinical improvements in the prevention and management of VTE in the cancer setting. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Use established clinical tools to assess the risk for VTE in patients preparing to receive anticancer therapy, Summarize current evidence and guidelines on VTE treatment and prophylaxis including the use of direct oral anticoagulation in patients with cancer, Apply updated evidence on the use of DOACs as initial VTE therapy and/or thromboprophylaxis in the cancer setting.
