Acta Pathol Microbiol Immunol Scand A

Department of Pathology, Oncological Institute, Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Published: November 1987

The histopathologic and clinical features of 3 breast angiosarcomas were presented. The microscopic patterns were heterogeneous, comprising vascular structures in various degrees of differentiation and solid cellular proliferations, the proportion of which varied from tumor to tumor. All 3 tumors were classified in the third group of angiosarcomas. One widely-excised tumor recurred and developed lung metastases 11 months after mastectomy and during a polychemotherapy. The other 2 patients were well and free from disease 9/11 months after the surgical and radiation therapy.

Introduction: Recent epidemiological data suggests a rising incidence of breast angiosarcoma (AS-B) in the Western population, with over two-thirds related to irradiation or chronic lymphedema. However, unlike head and neck angiosarcoma (AS-HN), AS-B disease characteristics in Asia remain unclear.

Methods: We examined clinical patterns of angiosarcoma patients (n = 176) seen in an Asiantertiary cancer center from 1999 to 2021, and specifically investigated the molecular and immune features of AS-B in comparison to AS-HN.

Breast sarcomas are a diverse group of malignant neoplasms originating from the mammary stroma. They are uncommon tumors, often occurring as a component of other tumors. Among malignant breast mesenchymal tumors, pure sarcomas lacking epithelial components are even rarer, comprising only 0.

Radiation-induced angiosarcoma (RIAS) is a rare, late adverse event of radiotherapy comprising approximately half of all radiation-induced sarcomas. It has a relatively short latency period and generally unfavorable prognosis. This study presents a case of RIAS that developed 5 years and 11 months after the completion of hypofractionated radiotherapy (42.

Vesicle Amine Transport-1 (VAT1) is a protein that is overexpressed in many cancers, including breast cancer, glioblastoma, and angiosarcoma. High VAT1 expression correlates with poor overall survival, and genetic knockout models of VAT1 indicate potent antimigratory activity, suggesting that VAT1 is a promising antimetastasis target. Recently, the natural product neocarzilin A (NCA) from was reported to be the first validated small-molecule inhibitor of VAT1, having strong activity in metastasis models of angiosarcoma and breast cancer.
