E-164 Recurrent strokes as the initial presentation of colorectal adenocarcinoma
ConclusionCryptogenic strokes in patients with cancer are cardioembolic manifestations of cancer-mediated hypercoagulability such as NBTE, which consists of sterile, platelet-fibrin vegetations on cardiac valves. The mechanism of thromboembolism in patients with cancer is based on the interaction between tumor cells and leukocytes, which creates a thrombogenic vascular lining and induces the release of substances that activate the coagulation cascade.
