The coincidence of stroke and cancer is frequently encountered. From recent epidemiological data, the stroke risk in cancer patients seems to be equally distributed as compared to the non-cancer population. However, there are several clinical conditions in cancer patients which increase the risk for stroke: Trousseau's syndrome, non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Also some tumour-specific conditions such as coagulopathies, changes of viscosity and cellular mechanisms such as leukocytosis or thrombocytopathies must be considered. In several types of tumour treatment, such as various anticancer drugs, an increased occurrence of stroke has been reported. Presently there is no indication that stroke and cancer are related to the immune-mediated "classic" paraneoplastic syndromes. However, there are several cancer-specific types and causes of stroke which need to be considered in each patient, as they can be of significance in the treatment.
