All of the contributors are acknowledged specialists in their fields and have experience conducting large clinical trials in oncology and thrombosis. Their discussions cover all aspects of the topic, from long-term complications to cancer surgery. With input from specialists in a range of disciplines including hematology, pharmacology, and surgery, this thorough text will be of interest to general practitioners, internists, oncologists, hematologists, and all physicians involved in the management of cancer patients.
