Cancer patients can have acquired bleeding problems for many reasons. In this review, an approach to the evaluation and management of the bleeding patient is discussed. Specific issues including coagulation defects, thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, and bleeding complications of specific hematological malignancies due to anticoagulation, are discussed.
