Breast angiosarcoma following surgery and radiotherapy for breast cancer is a rare but important clinical entity. This article reviews all published cases and includes data on incidence, etiology, presentation, diagnosis, management and prognosis. Breast angiosarcoma remains challenging clinically, radiologically and histologically, and thus a high index of suspicion is required in susceptible patients. Surgery is the primary treatment option and there are an increasing number of studies on the use of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, each with variable success. There have been recent reports of patients with metastatic disease responding to taxane chemotherapy, and there might be a future role for targeted agents given the expression of c-KIT in a subset of angiosarcomas. Overall survival, however, remains poor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
