Abstract : In clinical studies, thromboprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism and to improve outcomes in cancer patients. Moreover, preclinical models have previously suggested that LMWHs may also offer additional benefits through direct antitumor properties. However, the optimal doses of LMWHs that may prevent both cancer-related thrombosis and tumor development are yet unknown.
