Since the early 2000s, the use of warfarin for The majority of patients with any procedure interruptions had only one such episode: 64% in the cancer group and 81% among the controls
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication in patients with cancer
Importantly, VTE is a significant cause of mortality in cancer patients

In 68 additional patients (not included in the study population), prolonged PT was pseudo‐abnormal, as confirmed by re‐examination of newly compared warfarin 1 mg per day for 90 days with no warfarin in patients with cancer and long-term central venous catheters
In a study published in Blood Advances, researchers analyzed a large health-care claims database to determine if there is an advantage of DOACs over warfarin for A Mount Sinai-Led Study Shows Early Success of a Novel Drug in Treating a Rare and Chronic Blood Cancer Results of 16-Center REVIVE trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine

Patients with malignancy often experience increased risk of thrombosis, both venous and arterial
However, even in the absence of obvious thrombosis, cancer patients with solid tumors and leukemias commonly present with abnormal laboratory coagulation tests, characterized by varying degrees of clotting activation, indicating a subclinical hypercoagulable condition []
Heparin and LMWH block hypercoagulation by activating antithrombin III [Figure 1]
It is unclear if the results pertain to patients with cancer and VTE
Treatment: In a recent review of anticoagulation for cardiovascular conditions in cancer patients, DOACs, specifically apixaban and edoxaban, were felt to be safe in cancer patients with AF or AFL, demonstrating fewer bleeding complications and thromboembolic events compared with warfarin ( 13 )
Warfarin is a medication used to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke

Treatment is challenging, as it is necessary to balance the risk of recurrent thrombosis and bleeding associated with anticoagulants
The balance between thromboembolic The direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, betrixaban, and dabigatran offer a unique alternative to warfarin, unfractionated heparin, and low-molecular-weight heparin for the treatment of a variety of disease states
Among cancer patients with AF, use of warfarin is challenging because of metabolic interactions with chemotherapy and antibiotics, chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, and the frequent need for surgical or invasive procedures
Although low-molecular-weight heparin monotherapy has been identified as a simple and efficacious regimen compared with an initial parenteral anticoagulant followed by long-term therapy with a vitamin K antagonist, many clinical questions remain unanswered

In view of the availability of more effective and reliable alternatives to warfarin therapy in cancer patients, it is appropriate to reassess the role of warfarin therapy in patients
Among patients treated with warfarin for venous thromboembolism (VTE), cancer patients have more thrombotic and hemorrhagic events than patients without cancer
Conversely, those not treated with warfarin have poor survival, suggesting that coagulopathy without

and that prophylactic treatment with warfarin can reduce this risk
Research has found that the probability of VTE recurring in cancer patients is three times that of non-cancer patients []
Cancer patients also tend to have poor appetites and take multiple medications, both of which lead to erratic INRs and difficulties with warfarin dosing
Between 2012 and 2015, 4 direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban, were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of VTE based on randomized clinical trials that demonstrated similar efficacy and safety compared with warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation or patients The 22
Conclusions and relevance: Warfarin use may have broad anticancer potential in a large, population-based cohort of persons older than 50 years

It remains unclear if one is the cause or consequence of the other, or if they simply coexist
The use of DOACs in cancer patients is an area of interest because of the drugs’ convenience and In addition, there may be a dichotomy in thromboembolic risks between AF patients (taking NOACs) with active and remote cancer
The aim of the present meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of direct oral Xa inhibitor anticoagulants versus warfarin in patients with cancer and atrial fibrillation
