cancer (?) treatment
This in the post-discharge treatment plan of a patient with metastatic kidney cancer that has metastasized to the lungs and brain. This little acronym appears several times in this section:
" ... non consigliata terapia steroidea in cronico, da avviare EVT con oncologo in base a evoluzione clinica e imaging"
" ... da valutare con oncologo e curante alla luce del quadro globale di malattia ... EVT profilassi eparinica per TVP e rischio embolico, e terapie specifiche del caso e EVT antalgiche."
From the context, I am guessing that the 'T' stands for 'terapia' ... but I can't be sure, and I can't figure out the rest of it even after a lot of attempts to find it online! I don't find it in Acromed (or its Spanish counterpart -- Cosnautas -- where you can sometimes find these things).
What does EVT stand for here, and how do we say it in English?
Thank you.

Ciao Joseph.
Usually it is written evt and it stands for "eventualmente".
"EVT profilassi per...": eventuale profilassi per...

Note from asker:
| Ciao Gilberto, and thanks again. And you're right, it was written evt but I capitalized it because I thought it was an acronym (which are capitalized in English) |

Discussion
Further complicating matters and perhaps misdirecting them is that heparin may be used to prevent VTEs (EN, venous thromboembolism) and may be used in conjunction with an EVD (EN external ventricular drain). Could VTE or EVD become EVT in Italian?
