Clinical practice guidelines: management of venous thrombosis in cancer patients

The "Standards, Options: Recommendations" (SOR) project has been initiated by the French National Federation of Cancer Centers (FNCLCC) and is now part of the French National Cancer Institute. The project aims to develop and update the evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) in oncology. The SOR has elaborated national guidelines, presented here as a short report, in order to answer questions related to venous thromboembolic events (VTE) treatment and to central venous catheter thrombosis (CVCT) management in cancer patients. These guidelines result from a collaborative work with some members of three scientific societies: the Soci,t, nationale fran double dagger aise de m,decine interne (SNFMI), the Soci,t, fran double dagger aise de m,decine vasculaire (SFMV) and the Soci,t, fran double dagger aise d'anesth,sier,animation (SFAR).
