Este webinar trata sobre dos patologías estrechamente relacionadas. La Trombosis marca el pronóstico del tumor y lo afecta en múltiples aspectos, condicionando su tratamiento y su morbimortalidad. Y se comporta como una entidad diferente a la clásica Trombosis Venosa con mayor recaída trombótica, pero también con más sangrado en la anticoagulación. Ahora que el cáncer se ha convertido en una entidad crónica, la enfermedad tromboembólica venosa se ha posicionado como un acertijo de dificil solución. Y muchos oncólogos aún no han percibido la gravedad de este problema. Hoy, en el Día Mundial de la Trombosis, queremos resaltar algunas novedades sobre la prevención y el tratamiento anticoagulante de esta compleja asociación.

(English version): This webinar is about two closely related pathologies. Thrombosis marks the prognosis of the tumor and affects it in many aspects, conditioning its treatment and morbidity and mortality. And it behaves as an entity different from the classic Venous Thrombosis with greater thrombotic relapse, but also with more bleeding in anticoagulation. Now that cancer has become a chronic entity, venous thromboembolic disease has positioned itself as a riddle of difficult solution. And many oncologists have not yet perceived the seriousness of this problem. Today, on World Thrombosis Day, we want to highlight some news about the prevention and anticoagulant treatment of this complex association.

"Cutting off old braids: treating pulmonary embolism on an outpatient basis?"
Outpatient or inpatient? A new guideline now recommends treating light to moderate pulmonary embolism in the future as an outpatient treatment. But what must a risk stratification look like that distinguishes simpler from acute life-threatening cases? What must a quality-assured outpatient care look like? And how are the patient flows changing? 

We want to discuss these and other exciting questions.

The celebration of the “6th World Thormbosis Day” in Italy will take place on October 12-13, 2019 in Matera, a city in the region of Basilicata, in Southern Italy, nominated European Capital of Culture for 2019. Matera lies in a small canyon carved out by the Gravina River and it has gained an international fame for its ancient town, the "Sassi di Matera". The Sassi are habitations dug into the calcareous rock itself, originated in a prehistoric troglodyte settlement. In fact, these dwellings are thought to be the first ever human settlements in what is now Italy. Because of the ancient primeval-looking scenery in and around the Sassi, many filmmakers, like Pier Paolo Pasolini (The Gospel According to St. Matthew - 1964) and Mel Gibson (The Passion of the Christ – 2014) have chosen Matera as the movie setting for ancient Jerusalem. In this suggestive site, the 6th World Thrombosis Day in two days will pursuit its goal of increasing knowledge and awareness on thrombosis. On the first day, there will be an intensive workshop on pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of thrombosis, involving many Italian speakers, among the most expert clinicians and researchers in the field. The second day will be dedicated to the general population with meetings and celebrations in the streets of Matera, and it will be recognized as a cultural-social activity in the frame of all the events of the year dedicated to “Matera - European Capital of Culture 2019”.

6th annual scientific meeting on VTE held on the occasion on WTD. We expect about 100 participants, mostly health care professionals but also patients. The first 5 editions of the conference was organized by prof. Krystyna Zawilska who passed away last August. The conference program consists of 13 lectures delivered by distinguished Polish scientists and VTE experts.

Professional debate dedicated to thrombosis and its effects on people and the healthcare systems attended by HCPs from the most important hospitals in Bucharest, Health Authorities and patients associations representatives. The event, organized by “Oameni & Companii”, was hosted by Fundeni Clinical Institute, one of the largest hospitals in Romania, supported by Aspen Pharma Romania and moderated by the president of National Authority for Management of Health Quality (ANMCS), dr. Vasile Cepoi, together with the manager of the Institute, dr. Alina Tanase. The conclusion of the debate was in line with ISTH suggestion for this year WTD (to have a golden standard in VTE risk assessment in all hospitals): Romania needs national guidelines, protocols and standards for VTE risk evaluation. The creation of a working group for this objective was suggested and we really hope that all the partners involved will be able to support this initiative in the future.
