Timing of blood clot prevention after colorectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at when to start blood thinners after surgery for colorectal cancer. The goal is to find the safest time to prevent blood clots without increasing bleeding risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a blood-thinning drug to prevent dangerous blood clots (venous thromboembolism) in people with colorectal cancer who are having surgery. It aims to see if the drug can help reduce clot risk safely.
This trial compares different blood clot prevention strategies for people over 18 with colorectal cancer who are having surgery lasting at least 45 minutes. It aims to find the best way to reduce the risk of dangerous blood clots after surgery.
This trial tests whether a longer course of blood-thinning injections after major liver surgery reduces the risk of blood clots. It may help people recovering from liver cancer surgery.
This trial studies the safety of managing blood thinners (like apixaban or warfarin) around the time of cancer surgery or procedures. It aims to help doctors understand how to best handle these medications to reduce risks.
This study compares two approaches to preventing blood clots around the time of pancreatic surgery. It may help lower the risk of dangerous clotting events after surgery, especially for people who are high risk.
This trial tests a program to help people who had cancer surgery get medicine to prevent dangerous blood clots. If you had belly or pelvic cancer surgery and are not on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
