eLearning
Test your knowledge and understanding of the clinical risk factors for VTE in cancer with our interactive eLearning Modules.
- In Module 1, you will dive into the pathophysiology of VTE, its prevalence and incidence, and which cancers can pose the highest risk of thrombotic events to your patients
- In Module 2, you will discover how risk of VTE is assessed in patients with cancer, what stratification tools exist, and current treatment options available
Course overview
On completion of this module participants should have a good understanding of:
- why patients with cancer are at higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared to the general population
- which cancer types are associated with the highest risk of VTE and how individual risk can be assessed
- how the prevalence and incidence of VTE in patients with cancer compares to the general population
- the importance of cancer screening patients with unprovoked VTE
Evaluation questions will be asked at the end of the module. These are designed to test your knowledge and consolidate your learning.
