Abstract

Thrombosis is challenging in multiple myeloma. Advances of therapeutic arsenal for this cancer increased survival but at the same time led to the incidence of thrombotic events with impacts on morbidity and mortality. In addition, the epidemiological profile of this population favors the coexistence of cardiovascular disease sharing thrombogenic physiopathological mechanisms with cancer. Regardless of the use of anticoagulants and platelet antiaggregant, the ideal strategy for prophylaxis remains obscure and the challenge goes beyond the standardization of risk evaluation and anticoagulant therapy. This article attempted to present the state-of-art about the theme with the objective to discuss thromboprophylaxis in multiple myeloma, highlighting the approach to cardiovascular disease as part of this strategy.
