ASCO 2026 | DOACs versus LMWH in patients with liver metastases & cancer-associated thrombosis

Jowan Al-Nusair, MD, Marshall University, Huntington, WV, discusses the findings of a retrospective multi-center real-world analysis comparing direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in patients with liver metastases and cancer-associated thrombosis. Dr Al-Nusair notes that DOACs may be favored over LMWH in this population, although anticoagulation should be individualized based on each patient’s bleeding risk and cancer burden. This interview took place during the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Meeting in Chicago, IL.
