Acute ischaemic stroke in active cancer versus non-cancer patients: stroke characteristics, mechanisms and clinical outcomes. Eur J Neurol 2024; 31:e16200. [PMID: 38235924 PMCID: PMC11235609 DOI: 10.1111/ene.16200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Demographics, clinical characteristics, stroke mechanisms and long-term outcomes were compared between acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients with active cancer (AC) versus non-cancer patients. METHODS Using data from 2003 to 2021 in the Acute STroke Registry and Analysis of Lausanne, a retrospective cohort study was performed comparing patients with AC, including previously known and newly diagnosed cancers, with non-cancer patients. Patients with inactive cancer were excluded. Outcomes were the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months, death and cerebrovascular recurrences at 12 months before and after propensity score matching. RESULTS Amongst 6686 patients with AIS, 1065 (15.9%) had a history of cancer. After excluding 700 (10.4%) patients with inactive cancer, there were 365 (5.5%) patients with AC and 5621 (84%) non-cancer AIS patients. Amongst AC patients, 154 (42.2%) strokes were classified as cancer related. In multivariable analysis, patients with AC were older (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-1.03), had fewer vascular risk factors and were 48% less likely to receive reperfusion therapies (aOR 0.52, 95% CI 0.35-0.76). Three-month mRS scores were not different in AC patients (aOR 2.18, 95% CI 0.96-5.00). At 12 months, death (adjusted hazard ratio 1.91, 95% CI 1.50-2.43) and risk of cerebrovascular recurrence (sub-distribution hazard ratio 1.68, 95% CI 1.22-2.31) before and after propensity score matching were higher in AC patients. CONCLUSIONS In a large institutional registry spanning nearly two decades, AIS patients with AC had less past cerebrovascular disease but a higher 1-year risk of subsequent death and cerebrovascular recurrence compared to non-cancer patients. Antithrombotic medications at discharge may reduce this risk in AC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Japan, few studies have examined suicide risk for five-year relative survival rates for cancer sites. Since five-year relative survival rates differ by sex, we aim to examine suicide risk for patients with cancer separately for men and women. METHODS We estimated the risk of suicide among patients with cancer by sex in Japan compared to the general population, using standardized mortality ratios (SMRs). Patients with cancer diagnosed between January 1, 1985-December 31, 2013 and registered in the Osaka Cancer Registry were followed-up with for up to 10 years. The outcome was suicide death. In addition, cancer sites were classified into three prognosis groups based on five-year relative survival rates: good (> 70%), moderate (40-70%), poor (< 40%). RESULTS Among 623 995 patients with cancer observed for 2 349 432 person-years, 1210 patients died by suicide (867 men and 343 women). The SMRs were almost equal for men (1.66, 95% CI, 1.55-1.77) and women (1.65, 95% CI, 1.48-1.83). SMRs for cancer prognosis groups were 1.01 (95% CI, 0.84-1.22) for men and 1.47 (95% CI, 1.24-1.73) for women in the good group, 1.53 (95% CI, 1.39-1.68) for men and 1.74 (95% CI, 1.47-2.05) for women in the moderate group, and 2.54 (95% CI, 2.27-2.85) for men and 1.87 (95% CI, 1.43-2.46) for women in the poor group. CONCLUSIONS In this population, both sexes had higher suicide risk with poor prognosis, but the difference in SMRs between the good and poor groups was smaller for women than men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of Parkinson's disease (PD)-related death in patients with cancer largely unexplored. METHODS We analyzed data from the Neoplasms ANd other causes of DEath (NANDE) study, which investigates the causes of death in patients with cancer in Japan. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated to compare the risk of PD-related deaths in patients with cancer to that of the general population. Poisson regression models were employed to estimate the relative risk of PD-related death in the subgroups. RESULTS The cohort included 548,485 patients with cancer, yielding 2,047,398 person-years at risk from 1995 to 2013. During the study period, 242,250 patients died and 145 deaths were attributable to PD. The SMR for PD-related death was 2.34 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.99-2.75). Patients who were diagnosed with cancer before 70 years of age had a high SMR (>5) for PD-related deaths. The SMR of patients with mouth-to-stomach cancers (lip, oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach cancers) was 3.72 (95% CI: 2.84-4.86), while that of those with other cancers was 1.93 (95% CI: 1.57-2.37). The multivariate Poisson regression model revealed that patients with mouth-to-stomach cancers were more likely to die of PD than those without (relative risk 2.07, 95 % CI; 1.46-2.93). CONCLUSIONS Patients with cancer are at a high risk of PD-related death; particularly, mouth-to-stomach cancers and potentially obstructing medication for PD are attributable to a high mortality risk. Careful management, including adequate PD treatment, would benefit cancer survivors with PD and reduce the risk of PD-related death.

Abstract
The incidence of cancer-associated stroke has increased with the prolonged survival times of cancer patients. Recent genetic studies have led to progress in cancer therapeutics, but relationships between oncogenic mutations and stroke remain elusive. Here, we focused on the driver gene KRAS, which is the predominant RAS isoform mutated in multiple cancer types, in cancer associated stroke study. KRASG13D/- and parental human colorectal carcinoma HCT116 cells were inoculated into mice that were then subjected to a photochemically-induced thrombosis model to establish ischemic stroke. We found that cancer inoculation exacerbated neurological deficits after stroke. Moreover, mice inoculated with KRASG13D/- cells showed worse neurological deficits after stroke compared with mice inoculated with parental cells. Stroke promoted tumor growth, and the KRASG13D/- allele enhanced this growth. Brain RNA sequencing analysis and serum ELISA showed that chemokines and cytokines mediating pro-inflammatory responses were upregulated in mice inoculated with KRASG13D/- cells compared with those inoculated with parental cells. STAT3 phosphorylation was promoted following ischemic stroke in the KRASG13D/- group compared with in the parental group, and STAT3 inhibition significantly ameliorated stroke outcomes by mitigating microglia/macrophage polarization. Finally, we compared the prognosis and mortality of colorectal cancer patients with or without stroke onset between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2020 using a hospital-based cancer registry and found that colorectal cancer patients with stroke onset within 3 months after cancer diagnosis had a worse prognosis. Our work suggests an interplay between KRAS and ischemic stroke that may offer insight into future treatments for cancer-associated stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the risk of cardiovascular-related mortality in patients with cancer are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective cohort study used data from the Osaka Cancer Registry and vital statistics in Japan between 1985 and 2013. The causes of death were investigated, and the risk of fatal heart disease was analyzed. Standardized mortality ratios were calculated to compare the risk of fatal heart disease between patients with cancer and the general population. Fine and Gray competing risk regression models were used to assess the risk of fatal heart disease among patients with cancer. In total, 682 886 patients with cancer were included in the analysis, and 335 635 patients died during the study period. Heart disease was the leading cause of noncancer deaths, with 10 686 deaths. Among the patients who died of heart disease, 5017 had ischemic heart disease, 3598 had heart failure, 356 had hypertensive disease, and 1715 had other heart diseases. The standardized mortality ratio for heart disease was 2.80 (95% CI, 2.74-2.85). The standardized mortality ratio for ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and hypertensive disease were 3.26 (95% CI, 3.17-3.35), 2.69 (95% CI, 2.60-2.78), and 5.97 (95% CI, 5.38-6.63), respectively. The risk of fatal heart disease increased over time after cancer diagnosis. Men were more likely to die of heart disease than women (subdistribution hazard ratio, 1.08 [95% CI, 1.02-1.16]). The risk of fatal heart disease among cancer survivors has decreased in recent years. CONCLUSIONS Cancer survivors have a higher risk of fatal heart disease than the general population.

Abstract
Background Limited data exist on the prognostic factors for patients with ischemic stroke and active cancer. Methods and Results We conducted a prospective, multicenter, observational study in Japan, including patients with acute ischemic stroke and active cancer, to investigate the prognostic factors. We followed up the patients for 1 year after stroke onset. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to cryptogenic stroke and known causes (small-vessel occlusion, large-artery atherosclerosis, cardioembolism, and other determined cause), and survival was compared. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for mortality were calculated using Cox regression models. We identified 135 eligible patients (39% women; median age, 75 years). Of these patients, 51% had distant metastasis. A total of 65 (48%) and 70 (52%) patients had cryptogenic stroke and known causes, respectively. Patients with cryptogenic stroke had significantly shorter survival than those with known causes (HR [95% CI], 3.11 [1.82-5.32]). The multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that distant metastasis, plasma D-dimer levels, venous thromboembolism (either deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) complications at stroke onset were independent predictors of mortality after adjusting for potential confounders. Cryptogenic stroke was associated with prognosis in univariable analysis but was not significant in multivariable analysis. The plasma D-dimer levels stratified the prognosis of patients with ischemic stroke and active cancer. Conclusions The prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke and active cancer varied considerably depending on stroke mechanism, distant metastasis, and coagulation abnormalities. The present study confirmed that coagulation abnormalities were crucial in determining the prognosis of such patients.

Abstract
We aimed to clarify the differences in causes of death among patients with breast cancer according to age at diagnosis and years elapsed since diagnosis. Using data from the Osaka Cancer Registry and Vital Statistics databases, 40,690 female patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer between 1985 and 2006 were included in this study. The statistics on all deaths between 1985 to 2016 were collected, and the observation period was 10 years (2006-2016). Mortality hazards according to age at diagnosis and years elapsed since diagnosis were estimated using a flexible parametric estimation. Of the 40,690 patients, 13,676 (34%) died from all-cause death, and the 10-year survival rate was 65.74% (95% confidence interval: 65.28-66.21). The proportions of deaths were 10,531 (77%) from breast cancer, 1048 (8%) from other cancers, and 2097 (15%) from non-cancer causes. The mortality hazard for deaths from breast cancer was initially high and then declined, whereas that for deaths from other cancers and non-cancer causes was initially low and then increased. The more likely causes of death 5 years after breast cancer diagnosis were other cancers or non-cancer causes among patients aged ≥70 years.
