Anticoagulant versus antiplatelet treatment for secondary stroke prevention in patients with active cancer
Factors associated with anticoagulant use in patients with cancer-related stroke include younger age, more advanced cancer, and elevated D-dimer. Similar outcomes were seen with anticoagulant versus antiplatelet therapy in these patients highlighting the need for future randomized trials to determine the preferred antithrombotic strategy.
