How is Stroke Severity Measured in Cancer Patients?
Stroke severity in cancer patients is typically measured using standardized scales such as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). This scale assesses various aspects of neurological function, including consciousness, vision, motor skills, and speech. However, in cancer patients, stroke severity may also be influenced by the individual's overall health, the presence of other cancer-related complications, and the specific treatments they are undergoing.
