A member asked:

Can a tumor form where you have had a stroke?

Specializes in Radiation Oncology

No: Any thing is possible but location of a stroke does not typically lead to tumor. Stroke is where there is lack of blood supply to an area. Rumors typically like to grow by increasing the blood supply to an area.
