Abstract
Globally, stroke and malignancies represent a major public health burden. Cancer and stroke are two clinical manifestations that are related: cancer patients have twice the risk of stroke than the general population [1]. Types of cancer most commonly associated with ischemic stroke are lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer [2]. An analysis of patients with ischemic stroke and concomitant cancer who underwent inpatient treatment at the regional vascular center in Botkin Hospital. A total of 199 patients with ischemic stroke and malignancy were analyzed. 68 patients received reperfusion therapy and 131 patients did not receive reperfusion therapy. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that reperfusion therapy is possible and necessary for patients with malignant tumors. The risk of developing extracranial hemorrhages associated with the oncological process is extremely low, and the development of intracranial hemorrhagic complications does not significantly worsen the outcome of the disease. The severity of stroke in the presence of cancer was for the most part due to the stroke itself, its size and location, and depended less on the stage of cancer.
