Abstract 11655: Direct Oral Anticoagulants Compared With Low Molecular Weight Heparin and Vitamin K Antagonists in the Management of Cancer-Associated Thrombosis: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
Abstract:Objective:
Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) has been established for the treatment of cancer-associated thromboembolism (CAT). Recent guidelines suggest Direct Oral Anti-Coagulants (DOACs) may have a role in the management of CAT, however these recommendations were conditional. This study aims to compare DOACs with LMWH and Vitamin K Antagonists (VKAs) in CAT.
Methods:
We conducted a meta-analysis of studies through a systematic search of four electr… Show more
