A study compared demographics, clinical characteristics, stroke mechanisms & long-term outcomes between acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients with active cancer (AC) and non-cancer patients. Among 6686 AIS patients, those with AC had fewer vascular risk factors but were less likely to receive reperfusion therapies. AC patients had a higher 1-year risk of subsequent death and cerebrovascular recurrence compared to non-cancer patients.
