Prevention of venous thromboembolism in hematologic neoplasms: an expert consensus from SEHH–SETH

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication in hematologic neoplasms, so finding adequate prevention strategies is an urgent requirement. However, prospective studies with large enough cohorts are scarce, limiting the development of evidence-based thromboprophylaxis guidelines. The present position paper is addressed to all hematologists treating patients affected by hematologic neoplasms with the aim to provide clinicians with a useful tool for the prevention of VTE.
