Keywords: Atherosclerosis, Atherosclerosis, brain tumor
Motivation: As cancer survival rates have improved in recent years, it is crucial to identify survivors at elevated stroke risk.
Goal(s): To assess ICAD and track acute ischemic stroke (AIS) incidence in brain tumor patients, offering valuable insights into the vascular health of this high-risk group.
Approach: Developing a unique longitudinal vessel wall MRI (IVW) database to assess ICAD and track acute ischemic stroke (AIS) incidence in brain tumor patients.
Results: Significant prevalence of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques among brain tumor patients, with an increase in plaque burden over time. The incidence of acute ischemic stroke in brain tumor patients is 4.9%.
Impact: The incidence of AIS in brain tumor patients, albeit low, underscores the need for vigilant cardiovascular monitoring in this high-risk group.These findings highlight the importance of early detection and management of ICAD to mitigate stroke risk and improve patient outcomes.
