Radiation Therapy for Angiosarcoma
FREE Case Review
Although there are not many ways to effectively treat angiosarcoma, traditional approaches such as radiation therapy are often useful for stemming the growth of the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high energy particles that disrupt the ability of cells to grow and multiply.
Doctors use radiation to kill off tumor cells, but the radiation often affects other healthy cells, giving rise to the ill effects many feel after treatment. Fortunately these side effects can usually be overcome with several types of drugs, making radiation one of the most effective ways to treat angiosarcoma.
