İnme ve kanser birlikteliği: 30 olgunun analizi

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kliniğimize serebrovasküler hastalık tanısı ile yatan etiyolojik taramada kanser varlığı ya da öyküde kanser birlikteliği saptanan hastaların kanser tipleri, olası inme nedeni ve diğer demografik verileri açısından incelenerek, elde edilen sonuçların mevcut literatür bilgileri eşliğinde tartışılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza 2008-2012 yılları arasında SVH tanısıyla Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Nöroloji Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi ve Servisinde yatırılarak izlenen, kanser birlikteliği saptanan hastalar alındı. Hastalar demografik veriler, mevcut kanser tipi ve patolojisi, metastaz varlığı, uygulanmış olan tedavi tipi (radyoterapi, kemoterapi), kür varlığı, inme açısından risk faktörlerinin varlığı, kanser ve inme arası zamansal ilişki açısından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: 2008-2012 yılları arasında SVH tanısıyla Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Nöroloji Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi ve Servisinde yatırılarak izlenen ve kanser birlikteliği saptanan 30 hasta (10 kadın/ 20 erkek)çalışmaya alındı. SVH için başka risk faktörü olmayan, sadece kanser birlikteliği olan 8 (%26,66) hasta bulundu. Kanser varlığı için SVH için herhangi başka risk faktörü olmayan bu hastaların 3’ü Akciğer adenokarsinomu, 1’i akciğer küçük hücreli kanseri, 1’i parosteoal osteosarkom, 1’i serviks müsinöz adenokarsinom, 1’i mide adenokarsinoma ve 1’i mesane tümörüne sahipti. Sonuç: İnme etyolojisi araştırılırken klasik inme risk faktörlerinin yanı sıra çok çeşitli mekanizmalarla tromboza yatkınlık yaratan gizli kanserlerin araştırmalarda akılda bulundurulması gerektiği unutulmamalıdır.

Stroke and cancer association: Analysis of 30 patients

Aim: In this study, we examined patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease, who had a history of cancer or determined cancer during the etiologic scanning, in terms of the cancer type, possible causes of stroke and demographic data. We aimed to discuss our results in the light of pertinent literature. Materials and Methods: Patients who had been diagnosed with cerebrovascular disease and had a medical history of cancer, and had been hospitalized in the Ege University Medical School Neurological Intensive Care Unit between 2008-2012 were included in our study. For these patients, we examined demographic data, cancer type and pathology, the presence of metastasis, applied treatment (radiotherapy, chemotherapy), the presence of a cure for cancer, other possible causes of stroke, the relationship between cancer and the time of the stroke. Results: In our study, the total number of patients who had a diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease and medical history of cancer was 30 (10 women, 20 men). In eight patients (26.6%), there was no possible risk factor which could be thought to be the cause of stroke, except cancer. From those eight patients, three patients had lung adenocarsinoma, one had small cell lung cancer, one periosteal cancer, one had cervical adenocarcinoma, one gastric adenocarcinoma and one had bladder cancer. Conclusion: While investigating the etiology of stroke as well as classical risk factors, it must be kept in mind that there can be other rare etiologies of stroke such as hidden cancers can cause stroke by means of thrombosis by a variety of mechanisms.
