  • Title: Management of Thromboembolic Disease in Patients with Primary and Metastatic Brain Tumors.
    Author: Woods RR, Lesser GJ.
    Journal: Curr Treat Options Oncol; 2023 Sep; 24(9):1293-1303. PubMed ID: 37407888.
    Abstract:
    Patients with primary brain tumors are at a substantially elevated risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared to other disease states or other forms of malignancy. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), often complicate the care of patients with primary brain tumors, and treatment may pose specific unique risks and considerations for management. This paper critically reviews the relevant literature and the most common treatment options in addition to a discussion regarding the relative risk considerations for neurooncology patients facing thromboembolic disease.
