BSH guideline on Cancer-associated venous thrombosis in adults (second edition)
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) affects one in 20 cancer patients, increasing the risk of morbidity, mortality, and emotional distress. As cancer treatments advance and more patients receive systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT), the risk of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) continues to grow.
This updated British Society for Haematology (BSH) guideline provides UK-focused, evidence-based recommendations for the prevention and management of CAT, incorporating the latest research on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and other treatment options available within the NHS. It supports healthcare professionals in delivering patient-centred care while considering individual risk factors and treatment preferences.
