Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Cancer-associated VTE has an increased risk of recurrence and often cancer confers an increased risk of bleeding, which complicates treatment with anticoagulation. Traditionally, patients with cancer-associated VTE was treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMH). In total, 4 randomized controlled trials have compared non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulantia (NOAC) with LMH. The NOACs studied are the factor Xa inhibitors apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban. A metaanalysis of these 4 trials have shown at least similar efficacy for prevention of new VTE and a similar risk of bleeding.
静脉血栓栓塞症(VTE)是癌症患者发病和死亡的常见原因。癌症相关的VTE复发风险增加,而且癌症往往会增加出血风险,这使得抗凝治疗变得复杂。传统上,癌症相关VTE患者采用低分子量肝素(LMH)治疗。总共有4项随机对照试验比较了非维生素K拮抗剂口服抗凝药(NOAC)与LMH。所研究的NOAC是Xa因子抑制剂阿哌沙班、依度沙班和利伐沙班。对这4项试验的荟萃分析表明,在预防新的VTE方面至少具有相似的疗效,且出血风险相似。
