Objectives: In this observational study, our aim was to investigate the bleeding risk after acute recanalization therapy in AIS patients with active malignancy. Methods and Study Design: We retrospectively analyzed observational data of 1016 AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis with rtPA (IVT) and/or endovascular therapy (EVT) between January 2017 and December 2020 with a focus on patients with active malignancy. The primary safety endpoint was the occurrence of stroke treatment-related major bleeding events, that is, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) and/or relevant systemic bleeding. The primary efficacy endpoint was neurological improvement during hospital stay (NI). Results: None of the 79 AIS patients with active malignancy suffered from stroke treatment-related systemic bleeding. The increased rate (7.6{\%} versus 4.7{\%}) of SICH after therapy compared to the control group was explained by confounding factors. A total of nine patients with cerebral tumor manifestation received acute stroke therapy, two of them suffered from stroke treatment-related intracranial hemorrhage remote from the tumor, both asymptomatic. The group of patients with active malignancy and the control group showed comparable rates of NI.}, note = {<p>The publication of this article was supported by the Publication Fund of the University of Duisburg-Essen.</p> <p>The authors disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: Author WHC was supported as a Junior Clinician Scientist within the University Medicine Essen Academy (UMEA) program, funded by the IFORES program (Interne Forschungsf{\"o}rderung Essen) and the Faculty of Medicine, University of Duisburg-Essen.</p>}, note = {<p>Chae WH, V{\"o}ssing A, Li Y, et al.
