Résumé
The << Standards, Options: Recommendations >> (SOR) project has been undertaken by the French National Federation of Cancer Centers (FNCLCC) and is now part of the French National Cancer Institute. The project involves the development and updating of evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) in oncology. In order to answer questions related to venous thromboembolic events (VTE) treatment in cancer patients, the SOR elaborated national guidelines, here presented in a short report. It results of a collaborative work with members from three learned societies ("Societe nationale francaise de medecine interne": SNFMI, "Societe francaise de medecine vasculaire": SFMV and "Societe francaise d'anesthesie-reanimation: SFAR)".
