Angiosarcoma Symptoms
 FREE Case Review
Part of the difficulty in predicting the damage of angiosarcoma is that there are relatively few obvious symptoms until the cancer is extremely advanced. Furthermore, associating one set of symptoms to one aspect of angiosarcoma is particularly difficult because it can strike without warning in virtually any part of the body. A doctor who believes a patient may suffer from angiosarcoma might look for some of these factors:
- Fatigue
- Anemia – reduction of red blood cells
- A lump or swelling under the skin
- Skin lesions
- Bone pain
- Dull aches or stabbing pains
More advanced angiosarcoma of the skin, bone, or surrounding tissues are easier to diagnose. Victims of angiosarcoma of the skin frequently develop large, unmistakable lesions at the site of the tumor which makes diagnosis much easier. Patients will frequently complain of pain at the site of the tumor, and frequently there is significant discharge of blood, lymph, or other fluids. Internal angiosarcomas are much more difficult to diagnose, but usually grow into large tumors very quickly. Unfortunately, once the tumor is developed enough to display symptoms, treatment is usually ineffective.
