Extent of resection and role of adjuvant treatment in resected localized breast angiosarcoma

ConclusionsThe extent of surgery is not associated with improved survival in women with LBA, and patients may consider breast-conservation surgery. Adjuvant therapies are not associated with improved survival, with the exception of possible role of adjuvant chemotherapy in large primary tumors (5  cm or greater). Further clinical studies are needed to determine the impact of these treatments on local control, progression-free survival, and patients’ quality of life. Until then, the findings of our analysis will form basis for the multi-disciplinary discussion of management of women with L BA.
