Marc Carrier: A Practical Approach to Recurrent Thrombosis in Cancer Patients

Marc Carrier, Professor at Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:

“Managing recurrent VTE despite anticoagulation in patients with cancer remains one of the most challenging scenarios in thrombosis care.

This ‘How I Treat’ review outlines a pragmatic potential approach:

  • Confirm true recurrence (versus residual clot)
  • Assess adherence, drug interactions, and absorption
  • Optimize anticoagulation (LMWH escalation or switch)

Despite these strategies, recurrence and bleeding risks remain substantial highlighting the urgent need for more high-quality data.”
