Understanding and treating solid tumor-related disseminated intravascular coagulation in the "era" of targeted cancer therapies.
SAGE Open Medicine 2017
A systemic activation of blood coagulation is usually present in many clinical conditions including the infectious or inflammatory ones and malignant disease as well. Depending upon circumstances, patients suffering from acute decompensated disseminated intravascular coagulation may be managed by a medical oncologist and either an internist or a physician working in an emergency and/or intensive care unit. In some cases, for example, the indolent ones, the activation of coagulation might not be easily detected by routine laboratory tests and not lead to clinical manifestations. Such a chronically activated intravascular coagulation can progress toward an overt decompensated disseminated intravascular coagulation. Traditional therapy of decompensated disseminated intravascular coagulation is based on reversing the underlying triggering disease and providing patients with adequate supportive treatment. The dilemma for the oncologist is whether or not the trigger cause can be treated and amended with a specific antineoplastic treatment, without worsening the consumption of platelets and the risk of bleeding. In light of the availability of new targeted therapies, the main criteria that should drive the strategy against solid cancer-related disseminated intravascular coagulation will be discussed.
