Core Tip

Core Tip: In a comprehensive care approach that integrates psychological counseling with physical activity, there is a significant reduction in the risk of thrombosis among gastric cancer patients, particularly those who have undergone percutaneous central venous catheterization. This strategy not only enhances the overall health status of patients but also specifically targets individuals requiring long-term venous therapy due to gastric cancer, offering an effective method for thromboprophylaxis.
