Abstract

A 75-year-old male with metastatic pancreatic cancer is undergoing chemotherapy with gemcitabine. A portal vein thrombosis was incidentally found on surveillance CT scan. He does not report any new abdominal pain or ascites. Should anticoagulation be used to treat asymptomatic portal vein thrombosis?
