A member asked:
Why do doctors recommend against anticoagulation in cancer patients with platelets < 50,000?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Increased bleeding r: Both conditions increase the risk of bleeding. If you bleed due to anticoagulation, low platelet count that you already have will markedly increase the risk of hemorrhage and death as a result.
