Should Cerebral Ischemic Events in Cancer Patients be Considered a Manifestation of Hypercoagulability
Stroke 25:1215-1218, Chaturvedi,S.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Recognizing the limitations of this retrospective study,it appears nonetheless that conventional stroke origins account for the majority of cerebral ischemic events in the adult cancer population.Although hypercoagulability is present to a greater extent than in the nononcological population,recurrent strokes seem to occur no more frequently than in the nononcological population,and antiplatelet agents seem sufficient therapy for most patients.
