What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What Is Angiosarcoma?
Battling a progressive disease begins with being armed with essential information.
Angiosarcoma (AS) is the uncontrollable growth and spread of cancer cells in the lining of blood or lymph vessels. Your lymph vessels, which are an integral part of your immune system, play a role in collecting and disposing viruses, bacteria, and waste products from your body.
An error (mutation) in the lining of blood or lymph vessels triggers an outbreak of abnormal cell production. The malignancy can occur anywhere on your body, often manifesting on the skin of your head or neck. In rare cases, angiosarcoma can develop in the deep tissue of your heart or liver.
Angiosarcomas We Treat at New Hope Unlimited
The types of angiosarcoma include:
- Epithelioid Angiosarcoma: originates in the endothelial cells lining on the internal surface of the blood vessels.
- Breast Angiosarcoma: aggressive cancer often affecting women who have had surgery and radiotherapy for breast cancer.
- Cardiac Angiosarcoma: affects the endothelial cells of the heart.
- Hepatic Angiosarcoma: a fatal tumor occurring in the blood vessels inside the liver.
- Cutaneous Angiosarcoma: develops in skin’s blood vessels.
- Soft tissue Angiosarcoma: manifests in the soft tissues of both men and women, often in the tissues of the stomach.
- Bone Angiosarcoma: rare cancer affecting the bones in the skeleton, which includes the skull, spine, and rib cage.
Angiosarcoma Symptoms
Signs of angiosarcoma vary and depend on where the cancer is located.
If cancer is on your skin, the most common indications include:
- A raised, purple area of skin that looks like a bruise
- A sore that persists or worsens
- A lesion that bleeds when scratched or bumped
- Swelling in the surrounding skin
When angiosarcoma affects your heart or liver, it often causes pain.
Speak with a licensed medical professional if you experience one or more symptoms of AS, including any unusual changes in your body.
Angiosarcoma Causes
Little is known about the causes of angiosarcoma. However, factors that may increase a man or woman’s risk are:
- Exposure to radiation therapy
- Exposure to certain chemicals, such as vinyl chloride and arsenic
- Swelling due to lymph vessel damage (lymphedema)
It is important to note that not everyone with risk factors develops AS, and not everyone without risk factors is immune to the disease.
Diagnostic Tests for Angiosarcoma
To diagnose angiosarcoma, your physician will begin with a physical examination to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms. Then, he or she may proceed with the following tests to make an accurate diagnosis:
- Biopsy
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
Early and correct diagnosis, followed by proper treatment, can improve your angiosarcoma prognosis and life expectancy.
