Multidisciplinary Management of Angiosarcoma - A Review.

Angiosarcomas (AS) are a diverse group of soft tissue sarcomas, arising from blood and lymphatic vessels. They frequently present in the elderly, and in patients with previous radiation or lymphedema. A wide range of genetic derangements contribute to their development, and AS histology is often high-grade in keeping with aggressive disease biology. The clinical presentation, while often innocuous, is marked by its infiltrative and aggressive nature, with a proclivity for metastatic spread, and outcomes are often poor. Surgery is performed for localized, resectable cases. A multidisciplinary approach, appropriately employing surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or potentially recently approved immune-oncology agents, can result in positive outcomes.
