Article Synopsis
- Paraneoplastic ischemic stroke often has a poor prognosis, and recent research developed an algorithm to predict underlying cancer using markers like CRP, LDH, and granulocytosis in stroke patients.
- A study analyzed 1,612 ischemic stroke cases to find a link between strokes and specific cancer types, comparing results with bacterial endocarditis cases.
- The findings indicated that strokes linked to active lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers displayed distinct characteristics and improved detection rates, suggesting that standard clinical evaluations can effectively identify suspected paraneoplastic strokes.
