Abstract:

Introduction: The management of patients with primary and secondary Angiosarcomas (AS) is controversially. Management of primary AS includes resection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Radiation Induced AS (RIAS) are classified as secondary AS. RIAS is mostly diagnosed after breast conserving surgery for primary breast cancer and radiation therapy. Most common initial chemotherapy for AS is paclitaxel. Methods: We have retrospectively analyzed all patients with primary and secondary AS who were treated at our institution. Results: Thirteen and 3 patients were diagnosed with primary and secondary AS. Median age was 51 and 69 years, respectively. Most common first line chemotherapy in the metastatic setting was paclitaxel. Median overall survival was 59 months and rot reached, respectively. Conclusion: The combination with local therapy and systemic therapy may be considered in patients with initial localized AS, for patients with initially metastatic AS systemic therapy should be offered to the patients.
