Rupam Manna: Approach and Management of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Cancer

Rupam Manna, Postdoctoral Student – DrNB Medical Oncology at National Board of Examinations, shared a post on LinkedIn:

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in Oncology is more than just a clot — it reflects the profound hypercoagulable state created by cancer itself.

From Virchow’s triad to modern anticoagulation strategies, understanding cancer-associated thrombosis is essential for every oncologist and physician.

  • Always suspect DVT in any cancer patient with new unilateral swelling.
  • Balance thrombosis risk against bleeding risk carefully.
  • Early recognition saves lives.

Key concepts covered:

  • Why cancer causes thrombosis
  • High-risk cancers and drugs
  • Diagnosis and Doppler approach
  • LMWH vs DOACs
  • Duration of anticoagulation
  • Special situations: thrombocytopenia, brain mets, incidental PE and DVT”
