33 ISTH SSC DOACS 1. We recommend individualized treatment regimens after shared decision making with patients. 2. We suggest the use of specific DOACs for cancer patients with an acute diagnosis of VTE, a low risk of bleeding, and no drug drug interactions with current systemic therapy. LMWHs constitute an acceptable alternative. 3. We suggest the use of LMWHs for cancer patients with an acute diagnosis of VTE and a high risk of bleeding, including patients with luminal gastrointestinal cancers with an intact primary, patients with cancers at risk of bleeding from the genitourinary tract, bladder, or nephrostomy tubes, or patients with active gastrointestinal mucosal abnormalities such as duodenal ulcers, gastritis, esophagitis, or colitis. 33 Khorana AA, Noble S, Lee AYY, Soff G, Meyer G, O'Connell C, Carrier M.
