Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Lower limb venous thrombosis during chemotherapy for breast cancer should be treated with anticoagulant or thrombolytic therapy under a doctor's guidance, typically requiring long-term medication. If symptoms do not improve adequately with drug treatment, surgical intervention may also be considered. During treatment, patients should develop healthy lifestyle habits and avoid prolonged bed rest or sitting in daily life.
