The incidence of CAT continues to rise, complicating patient care and burdening healthcare systems. Patients with cancer experiencing VTE face poorer prognoses, making prevention and effective management imperative. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on thromboprophylaxis in ambulatory patients with cancer receiving systemic therapy and acute treatment strategies for CAT. Risk assessment models (e.g., Khorana score) aid in identifying high-risk patients who may benefit from thromboprophylaxis. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has been shown to reduce the risk of CAT without significantly increasing the risk of bleeding complications. However, implementation of risk-based strategies remains limited in clinical practice. For acute CAT management, LMWHs have been the standard of care, but DOACs are increasingly favored due to their convenience and efficacy. However, challenges persist, including bleeding risks and drug interactions. Emerging therapies targeting Factor XI inhibitors present promising alternatives, potentially addressing current limitations in anticoagulation management for CAT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20530,"journal":{"name":"Presse Medicale","volume":"53 4","pages":"Article 104242"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142056322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For haemodynamically stable patients with PE, the combination of a negative clinical prognostic score and the absence of computed tomography-assessed right ventricle enlargement may accurately identify those at low-risk of short-term complications after the diagnosis of PE, and such patients might benefit from an abbreviated hospital stay or outpatient therapy. Some evidence suggests that the accumulation of factors indicating worse outcomes from PE on standard anticoagulation identifies the more severe stable patients with acute PE who might benefit from intensive monitoring and recanalization procedures, particularly if haemodynamic deterioration occurs.

In 1992, Guy Meyer demonstrated the fast improvement of pulmonary haemodynamics after alteplase administration; this drug has remained the mainstay of thrombolysis for PE over almost 35 years. In the meantime, algorithms for PE risk stratification continued to evolve. The landmark Pulmonary Embolism International Thrombolysis (PEITHO) trial, led by Guy Meyer, demonstrated the clinical efficacy of thrombolysis for intermediate-risk PE, albeit at a relatively high risk of major, particularly intracranial bleeding. Today, systemic thrombolysis plays an only minor role in the real-world treatment of acute PE in the United States and Europe, but major trials are underway to test safer reperfusion regimens. Of those, the PEITHO-3 study, conceived by Guy Meyer and other European and North American experts, is an ongoing randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multinational academic trial. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of reduced-dose intravenous thrombolytic therapy against the background of heparin anticoagulation in patients with intermediate-high-risk PE. In parallel, trials with similar design are testing the efficacy and safety of catheter-directed local thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy. Increasingly, focus is being placed on long-term functional and patient-reported outcomes, including quality of life indicators, as well as on the utilization of health care resources. The pioneering work of Guy Meyer will thus continue to have a major impact on the management of PE for years to come.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20530,"journal":{"name":"Presse Medicale","volume":"53 3","pages":"Article 104248"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0755498224000277/pdfft?md5=6445b2e2320e26e270d07f7f5cea574e&pid=1-s2.0-S0755498224000277-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142146190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2015, international guidelines (NeuPSIG) were published, while the French recommendations were updated in 2020. The purpose of this minireview is to provide an update on the process of developing evidence-based recommendations and explore potential changes to the current recommendations. Primary treatments for neuropathic pain include selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as duloxetine and venlafaxine, gabapentin, tricyclic antidepressants, as well as topical lidocaine and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, which are specifically suggested for focal peripheral neuropathic pain. Pregabalin is a first line treatment according to international guidelines but second-line in the more recent French guidelines, due to lower efficacy seen in more recent studies and misuse risk. Additionally, tramadol, combination therapies, and psychotherapy as adjuncts are proposed second line; high-concentration capsaicin patches, and botulinum toxin A are proposed specifically for focal peripheral neuropathic pain. In cases where primary and secondary treatments prove insufficient, third-line options come into play. These include high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the motor cortex, spinal cord stimulation, and the use of strong opioids when no alternative is available. To ensure optimal management of neuropathic pain in real-life situations, it is imperative to disseminate these recommendations widely and secure the acceptance of practitioners. By doing so, we can bridge the gap between theory and practice, and enhance the overall care and treatment of individuals suffering from neuropathic pain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20530,"journal":{"name":"Presse Medicale","volume":"53 2","pages":"Article 104232"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0755498224000101/pdfft?md5=b8527a9683c0ed6d8f93cc6d4cb39c1b&pid=1-s2.0-S0755498224000101-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140789785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
