The interrelationship between stroke and cancer is complex. Cancer and stroke may occur independently in a given patient, or cancer may directly or indirectly lead to stroke via: hypercoaguability, non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE), direct tumor compression of blood vessels, or treatment-related effects which potentiate stroke. Patients with cryptogenic stroke are relatively common, and under the right circumstances, may provide an opportunity to screen for occult malignancy. In this review, we discuss relevant data linking stroke and cancer as well as propose a testable algorithm for cancer screening in the patient with cryptogenic stroke. Future directions should focus on validating patient-care algorithms in prospective clinical trials to provide an evidence base for this important issue.
中风与癌症之间的相互关系很复杂。在特定患者中,癌症和中风可能独立发生,或者癌症可能通过以下方式直接或间接导致中风:高凝状态、非细菌性血栓性心内膜炎(NBTE)、肿瘤直接压迫血管或与治疗相关的影响(这些影响会增加中风风险)。隐源性中风患者相对常见,在适当情况下,可能为筛查隐匿性恶性肿瘤提供机会。在本综述中,我们讨论了将中风与癌症联系起来的相关数据,并提出了一种可用于对隐源性中风患者进行癌症筛查的可测试算法。未来的方向应集中在前瞻性临床试验中验证患者护理算法,以为这一重要问题提供证据基础。
