  • Title: [Angiosarcoma of the breast. Apropos of 4 cases with a review of the literature].
    Author: Bobin Y, Dolbeau D, Besnard C, Mignotte H, Rivoire M, Zlatoff P.
    Journal: Bull Cancer; 1991 Nov; 78(11):1037-44. PubMed ID: 1369549.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of angiosarcoma of the breast were treated at Centre Léon-Bérard in Lyon. It is a rare malignant vascular tumor, constituting < 1% of all primary breast lesions. Radical local surgery is the treatment of choice; however, local recurrences and metastases are frequently observed. The 3-year disease-free survival rate is < 15%. The role of irradiation and adjuvant chemotherapy remains to be evaluated. Doxorubicin-ifosfamide-GM CSD gave a positive response in one case with metastases.
