  schema:description "Cancer and major surgery both raise the risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs. Before the operation the team should assess your risk of clots and of bleeding, use stockings or leg pumps, and usually give blood-thinning injections. After major cancer surgery in the abdomen or pelvis these are often continued at home for four weeks, because many clots happen after discharge."@en ;
