Rivaroxaban for Thromboprophylaxis in High-risk Cancer Patients With Totally Implantable Access Ports

Summary

Rivaroxaban has been developed in the various clinical settings.Although cancer-associated DVT or PE was included in previously programs, limited patients of the total populations were cancer patients with totally implantable access ports in these studies. In this sense, investigators feel that new oral anticoagulants should be re-investigated in this highly specific patients group.Therefore, investigators are planning to conduct a prospective study to estimate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban for thromboprophylaxis in high-risk cancer patients with totally implantable access ports.
