Grazioli S, et al. - An estimation was carried out of the prevalence of cancer-associated ischemic stroke. Additionally, experts attempted to elucidate the clinical outcomes in patients with cancer-associated ischemic stroke and assess the independent factors related to active cancer. Data shed light on an independent connection between older age, the occurrence of venous thromboembolism [VTE], low low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level, and cryptogenic stroke subtype with active cancer. Hence, a possible prevalent role of hypercoagulability was illustrated in the pathogenesis of cancer-associated ischemic stroke.
