What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is a Malignant Vascular Tumor?
Understanding your disease is the first step toward cancer remission.
Vascular tumors, are a common cause of soft tissue growths anywhere in the body, including the skin, tissues below the skin, and organs. Though some tumors are benign (noncancerous), many are malignant (cancerous).
There are two primary types of cancerous vascular tumors, and treatment will depend on the type, staging, location, and several other factors related to your diagnosis and general health. Untreated, they can metastasize (spread) to nearby tissues and internal organs. Acting sooner rather than later can significantly improve your prognosis.
Malignant Vascular Tumors We Treat at New Hope Unlimited
Our cancer care team can customize a treatment plan based on the following types of vascular tumors:
Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare type of malignant vascular tumor. It affects the epithelial cells that line the inside of blood vessels. EHE tumors commonly affects the soft tissues, lungs, liver, and bones of younger adults.
Angiosarcoma
Angiosarcoma (AS) is a rare type of soft tissue sarcoma. Similar to EHE, it affects the epithelial cells that make up the lining of the blood vessels. However, angiosarcoma is more common in men and women over the age of 50.
Signs of a Vascular Tumor
Here at New Hope Unlimited, we aim to reverse the symptoms of vascular tumors, which vary depending on their location.
For instance, the symptoms of a vascular brain tumor are:
- Persistent headaches
- Loss of balance or coordination
- Changes in vision
- Nausea or vomiting
- Collection of fluid in the skull (hydrocephalus)
In general, pressure from a vascular tumor can block the flow of lymph fluid and blood in the affected area, causing painful swelling.
What Caused Your Cancer?
While the cause of vascular tumors is unknown, scientists have identified several risk factors.
The risk factors of angiosarcoma include:
- Previous cancer treatments with radiation therapy
- Exposure to specific chemicals, such as arsenic and vinyl chloride
- Swelling because of lymph vessel damage (lymphedema)
As for epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, the causes and risk factors are still not understood.
How Do Doctors Confirm a Cancer Diagnosis?
To improve your malignant vascular tumor prognosis, receiving an early and accurate diagnosis is imperative. An oncologist might order these tests to screen for EHE or AS:
- Medical history and physical exam
- Blood tests
- Imaging tests to determine the extent of cancer:
- X-rays
- Computerized tomography (CT) scans
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scans
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans
- Ultrasounds
- Removal of a sample tissue for lab testing (biopsy)
After receiving a cancerous vascular tumor diagnosis, the next most important step is to plan your treatment with New Hope Unlimited.
