- Abstract
We encountered a case in which pulmonary thromboembolism as a complication of lung cancer was effectively treated with anticoagulant therapy and short-term placement of an inferior vena cava filter, as reported here. Research has suggested that anticoagulant therapy acts to suppress tumors, and use of warfarin along with chemotherapy is reported to prolong survival. We are looking into continuing to administer warfarin while watching for bleeding.
