Potential clinical benefits of warfarin in end-stage cancers: A retrospective analysis.

Patients with malignancy may experience subclinical PT prolongation upon disease progression. Warfarin treatment mitigates panic PT values in patients with malignancy. Conversely, those not treated with warfarin have poor survival, suggesting that coagulopathy without warfarin treatment can lead to death. Warfarin enhances hemostatic conditions, thereby preventing malignancy-related lethal hemorrhagic or thromboembolic events.
