title: Ischaemic stroke in a patient on sunitinib.
abstract: Concerns have been raised about possible theoretical risk of thrombosis and bleeding with sunitinib (anti-vascular endothelial cell growth factor agent) therapy used for treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. We present the first case of stroke in an older man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, on sunitinib therapy.
