Aims: This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and MRI profiles in acute cancer strokes, and to demonstrate our experience with thrombolytic therapy in cancer stroke patients. Methods: We prospectively studied active cancer patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent MRI within 48 h of the onset of symptoms. Patients were grouped based on the presence of conventional stroke mechanisms (CSM). Clinical characteristics and MRI profiles were evaluated. Results: A total of 70 patients were finally included in this study. Patients without CSM were more frequently presented with encephalopathy than those with CSM (29.4 vs. 2.8%, p = 0.002). The diffusion-perfusion mismatch pattern was more prevalent in patients with CSM (21 patients, 58.3%) than in patients without CSM (8 patients, 23.5%). Patients who had a higher tertiles of D-dimer level were significantly less likely to have the diffusion-perfusion mismatch pattern (p = 0.015). Among patients who presented within 6 h of the onset of stroke, revascularization therapy was performed in 4 of 16 (25%) patients with CSM, but none of the patients without CSM. Conclusion: Based on the stroke mechanisms, the optimal strategy of thrombolytic therapy should be considered differently in cancer patients with acute ischemic stroke. Copyright © 2012 S.
