Multimodal Therapy for Angiosarcoma
 FREE Case Review
Doctors must often take a multifaceted approach to treat an aggressive and deadly cancer like angiosarcoma. Very often, radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery are not enough alone, but combining more than one technique is often more effective than any one treatment alone.
Angiosarcoma does not usually respond well to chemotherapy, so many doctors elect to treat a tumor with radiation followed by a high level of anticancer drugs. If this combination is ineffective, and the cancer continues to grow, doctors will often use a high dose of radiation to reduce the number of cancer cells in the body, followed by surgical removal of the tumor. Sometimes this requires a large amount of tissue loss, or even the removal of the organ involved, but it is ultimately necessary for patient survival.
