Webinar Overview

Patients with cancer face many challenges associated with their disease and treatment. One potential complication is cancer-associated thrombosis which has a negative impact on patient outcomes and may even result in death. Central to managing these patients is the ongoing need to assess each patient for the risk of developing venous thromboembolism, and then to tailor supportive care throughout the cancer treatment period such that the complication can be avoided, when possible, and appropriately treated, when necessary.

This webinar will focus on preventing and managing cancer-associated thrombosis. Using patient case examples, the faculty will engage participants in the clinical decision-making process involved when assessing a patient’s risk of venous thromboembolism, selecting preventative therapy, and then - after the prophylaxis fails - choosing a treatment regimen.

Target Audience

This continuing pharmacy education webinar was planned to meet the needs of all pharmacists, especially those who manage anticoagulation therapy and/or care for patients with cancer.
