Insightful findings from the ONCO DVT Study reveal that extended 12-month anticoagulation therapy with edoxaban significantly reduces thrombotic events in cancer patients with isolated distal deep vein thrombosis who have intermediate to high modified Ottawa scores. This study highlights the utility of the modified Ottawa score in identifying cancer patients who benefit most from prolonged anticoagulation. In contrast, those with low scores showed no significant difference, suggesting they may not require extended therapy.

Today is #WorldStrokeDay! Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke. It could happen on your street, in your workplace, at a store where you shop — anywhere. Your readiness to spot the stroke warning signs and call 911 could save a life or make the difference between a full recovery and long-term disability. That’s why it’s so important to learn the stroke warning signs and urge everyone you know to do the same. The faster stroke is treated, the more likely the patient is to recover. Be sure to know the signs!
