Fig. 1
Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) of fatal stroke among cancer patients by subsite. The y-axis depicts the SMR with 95% CI, and the x-axis depicts the disease site. Different time periods after diagnosis (<1 year vs 5–10 years vs >10 years) are shown in different colors. The risk of stroke among cancer patients is two times that of the general population and rises with longer follow-up time. Certain cancer patients have relatively high SMR from stroke in the first year after diagnosis (e.g., brain, with SMR 7). Error bars represent 95% CI by subsite.
