What is cardiac angiosarcoma?
Cardiac angiosarcoma is a type of very rare malignancy which develops in the cells of the blood vessels of the heart. It is a very aggressive form of cancer and is often diagnosed at an advanced stage.
Symptoms of cardiac angiosarcoma can include chest pain, difficulty breathing, heart palpitations, leg swelling, and weight loss. However, these symptoms may be nonspecific and may be confused with other cardiac or respiratory diseases.
Cardiac angiosarcoma can occur anywhere in the heart and is difficult to diagnose, as there are no specific tests for this disease. Treatment of cardiac angiosarcoma involves surgical removal of the tumor, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, the prognosis for this disease is very poor, as it is difficult to diagnose early and is often diagnosed when it is already in an advanced stage. Cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare disease and its incidence is estimated at about 2-3 cases per million inhabitants per year.
