Blood clot is a sign of cancer?
Hi,
Thank you in advance.
My mom had an small single blood clot in her leg as soon as it dignosed we took a warf medicine from general physician to heal better once that leg swealing healed we stopped warf medicine by ourself thought that this was just an small issue but after 6 months again she had another small 1-2 clots in her brain then we took acitrome 3 mg medicine from doctor with regular PT/INR test & doctor consultation, now she is taking that medicine continuosly 3 years till now we haven't face any critical issue. She looks healthy, feels healthy.
I just want to know is this a sign of any type of cancer, if yes then is there any test that will tell me.
Please advise me. thanks!

There are many causes of recurrent venous thrombosis like Atrial fibrillation, procoagulant state etc. So a proper assessment and investigations are advised. Cancer is also one cause of recurrent clots . If no cause was found for these clots in your mother then she needs regular follow up by your doctor who will look for specific things and advise accordingly.
