Seizures are common in cancer patients, often linked to brain tumors detected via neuro-imaging. Chemotherapy can also trigger seizures, necessitating careful monitoring of drug interactions in oncology care.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Seizures are frequently observed in patients with intracranial tumors.
  • The incidence of cancer is not elevated in individuals experiencing seizures.

Purpose:

  • To summarize the circumstances leading to the diagnosis and treatment of seizures in cancer patients.
  • To highlight the diagnostic role of focal neurological signs and advanced neuro-imaging in identifying brain tumors in patients with new-onset seizures.

Summary:

  • Neuro-imaging advances increasingly detect tumors in patients presenting with seizures.
  • Chemotherapy can induce or exacerbate seizures due to cerebral cortex irritation.
  • Close monitoring for pharmacological interactions between antiepileptic and cytotoxic drugs is crucial.

Impact:
