title: [Treatment of cancer and thrombosis: practical approach].
abstract: Individuals with cancer are at increased risk of developing thrombosis. The prevalence of thrombosis depends on tumor-related factors such as histological type, stage, the use of central venous catheters, or treatment with surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, as well as general prothrombotic factors including advanced age, immobility, obesity, hereditary thrombophilias and comorbidities. Prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of thrombosis should be individualized and will depend on both the risk of thrombosis and bleeding. In this review we intend to update concepts that have changed substantially such as green food-free diet, or the indication of absolute bed rest in patients with recent thrombosis. We propose evidence-based therapeutic strategies regarding the most prevalent clinical problems encountered in patients with cancer and thrombosis.
