  • Practical Anticoagulation Strategies for Patients with Cancer

    Effective anticoagulation represents a widespread challenge, as it spans tumour types and cancer therapies, yet requires individualised treatment planning. Barriers such as poor team collaboration and concerns regarding drug-drug interactions contribute to the underutilisation of anticoagulation. Together, these challenges underscore the need for education and practical guidance on anticoagulation strategies across clinical scenarios—from patients with cancer who develop atrial fibrillation (AF) and require stroke prevention, to those at risk for cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE).

    To address this, ECOS hosted two live webinars featuring a multidisciplinary expert panel and a review of cases provided by the ECOS community. 

    Learning objectives:

    • Implement evidence-based strategies for preventing stroke in patients with AF and cancer
    • Develop individualised plans to prevent and treat cancer-associated VTE based on current guidelines and clinical evidence
    • Integrate resources for team collaboration and shared-decision making into anticoagulation treatment planning for patients with cancer

    Overview

    Webinar 1: Anticoagulation Strategies for Cancer-Associated VTE

    Thursday 24 March - 12.00 - 13.00 UK | 13.00 - 14.00 CET | 08.00 - 09.00 EDT
    Panel: Arjun Ghosh (Barts Heart Centre and University College London Hospital, London, UK), Sebastian Szmit (Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Warsaw, Poland) and Mari Thomas (University College London Hospital, London, UK)

    • Burden and mechanisms of cancer-associated VTE

    • Current evidence and guidelines for anticoagulation

    • Case-based discussion: individualising treatment plans

         Cases and questions from the ECOS community
         Example: patient with a history of cancer-associated VTE

         “How I manage” interactive faculty, panel, community discussion

    • Pearls for multidisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration

          Lessons from real-world cardio-oncology clinics

    • Summary and downloadable tools

    Webinar 2: Anticoagulation Strategies for Patients with Cancer and AF

    Monday 28 March - 12.00 - 13.00 UK | 13.00 - 14.00 CEST | 07.00 - 08.00 EDT

    • Burden and mechanisms of AF in patients with cancer

          Class effects and differences within classes (e.g., BTK inhibitors)

    • Current evidence and guidelines for anticoagulation in patients with cancer and AF

    • Case-based discussion: individualising treatment plans

          Cases and questions from the ECOS community
          Example: patient with CLL undergoing treatment with a BTK inhibitor
