Abstract

The management of acute disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) due to solid tumour malignancies can be challenging, as treating the underlying cause with cytotoxic chemotherapy may have limited effectiveness and significant toxicity. The advent of targeted therapies for malignancies is changing the treatment landscape. We report the successful management of a patient with a life-threatening coagulopathy due to BRAF-mutated melanoma.
