One Size Does Not Fit All: Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Colorectal Cancer.

Conclusions: Patients with similar pre-operative comorbidities have various venous thromboembolism perioperative prophylaxis regimens prescribed. Despite prescription variations, VTE rates remain negligible. Patients with different comorbid conditions may require alterations to the traditionally prescribed 40 mg enoxaparin daily. Upon discharge, aspirin 81 mg with 40 mg of enoxaparin daily for high-risk patients shows benefits, but requires further investigation. PMID: 32831542 [PubMed - in process]
