Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Cancer-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare complication that can occur in individuals with malignancy. It is characterized by the formation of blood clots within small blood vessels, leading to organ damage and dysfunction. Cancer-associated TMA can affect multiple organs in the body, including the kidneys, brain, heart, and gastrointestinal system. Symptoms may vary depending on the organs involved but can include fatigue, neurological symptoms, kidney dysfunction, and signs of anemia.
