Abstract
Abstract The relationship between cancer and thrombosis has been known for many years. Thrombotic risk is increased in the patient with cancer, and the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism at the time that a malignancy presents influences patient outcome. Risk evaluation, prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism are practical issues that face doctors who are dealing with these patients.
