Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have emerged as alternatives to injectable medications for both thromboprophylaxis and treatment of VTE. Several recent clinical trials have demonstrated safety and efficacy of DOACs in high risk patients receiving systemic chemotherapy as well as postoperative prophylaxis after surgery for gynecologic cancer. Major consensus guidelines from multiple organizations support the use of DOACs for these indications but prescription practices are not well characterized. Methods A survey study was sent concurrently to members of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Research Survey Pool between May and June of 2021.
