Article Synopsis
- - Venous thrombosis is a common issue in cancer, particularly in urology, but current guidelines, including those from the EAU, are outdated and don’t address the increased thrombosis risk linked to COVID-19.
- - The study analyzed existing literature on thromboprophylaxis for surgeries like radical prostatectomy, cystectomy, and nephrectomy, emphasizing the need for individualized patient risk assessments for bleeding and venous thromboembolism (VTE).
- - Patients with COVID-19 are at a higher risk for VTE, and testing for the virus should be mandatory before surgeries during infection spikes, highlighting the importance of timely cancer care amidst the pandemic.
