Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Cancer: A Population Study [Brief Reports]

Thrombolytic therapy for acute stroke in patients with cancer is not associated with increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage or in-hospital mortality. However, careful consideration of the cancer subtype may help delineate the subset of patients with poor response to thrombolysis. Prospective confirmation is warranted.
