dc.description.abstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently encountered in patients with cancer and poses challenges for anticoagulant management. The present study was conducted to compare clinical outcomes associated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in individuals with active malignancy and nonvalvular AF (NVAF). METHODS: Data from patients with active cancer who received LMWH or DOACs for NVAF were retrospectively screened. Efficacy, safety, and survival outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: The study enrolled 222 patients, of whom 25.7% received LMWH and 74.3% received DOACs. Cancer stage, type, and treatment were comparable between groups. The DOAC group had higher CHA2DS2-VA (3.13 ± 1.21 vs. 2.42 ± 1.33; P
