Warfarin has been found to be safe and effective in cancer patients,3 but patients with advanced cancer have an increased risk of a supratherapeutic international normalized ratio (INR).4 Active cancer is a predictor of a lengthened time for a supratherapeutic INR to decrease to target levels.5 Additionally, maintaining an INR between 2 and 3 is more diffi cult in cancer patients than in patients without cancer.3,6 Hutten and colleagues studied venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding and found that cancer patients had a sixfold higher incidence of bleeding than did patients without malignancy.6 Through the presentation of a brief case study Manuscript submitted August 22, 2006; accepted October 25, 2006.
