Which of the following anticancer drugs can cause a hypercoagulable state
Correct Answer: L–asparginase
Description: L-asparginase causes the breakdown of aspargine and thus interferes with protein synthesis. It can inhibit the production of clotting factors (responsible for cerebral hemorrhage) as well as anti-clotting proteins (can lead to cortical vein thrombosis and other hypercoagulable states).
