Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a dreaded complication of both cancer and its treatment. In the general population, ICH has a reported case fatality ratio of 36.6% at 7 days and 59% at 30 days. There is limited information on how the increased risks of bleeding in the oncologic population effects their survival. For example, while radiotherapy (RT) is an established treatment for primary and secondary brain tumors, it is also considered a risk factor for intracranial hemorrhage. This study aims to quantify the incidence of ICH and how prior cranial irradiation affects their short term survival.
