Preface

Cancer and Thrombosis are interrelated. Their relationship adds complexity to the already challenging domain of cancer management. Thrombosis can at times be a lead to cancer diagnosis, while it often complicates the situation as a co-existing disorder.

This book is a result of generalists’ endeavor to put together a rather simpler version of compilation, as it pertains to cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT). Our product is clinically oriented as compared to some in-depth basic science coverage of preexisting books on CAT. Our primary target audience naturally remains generalists and graduate-level trainees.

We have strived to stay current in terms of literature review. Specifically, we notice a paucity of evidence-based literature on thrombosis prophylaxis among cancer patients. We hope to infuse interest among our audience through an easy read of a complex entity that includes specific clinical situations and challenges, and hopefully, a palatable end-produce.

We do not have any conflict of interest to disclose during the preparation of this book.
