Article Synopsis
- Desmopressin (dDAVP) is a synthetic form of vasopressin that helps reduce bleeding during surgery by increasing hemostatic factors like von Willebrand factor (vWF).
- Previous studies in animals showed that dDAVP could inhibit metastasis and improve survival in cancer models.
- A recent trial in breast cancer patients found that dDAVP was generally safe, reduced surgical bleeding, and improved vWF levels, indicating potential for future cancer treatment applications.
