    • Cancer patients are not meeting the numerator for DVT prophylaxis when administered Apixaban 2.5mg

      There is recent evidence that Apixaban 2.5 mg is effective for DVT Prophylaxis in cancer patients. Our Urologic Oncology group has started prescribing this for their patients. Will Apixaban 2.5mg usage for DVT prophylaxis be expanded to include other diagnoses and conditions such as cancer?
