Angiosarcoma is an incredibly devastating cancer, often growing unnoticed until treatment is nearly impossible. The disease begins as a growth inside of a victim’s blood vessels, and it spreads quickly to other areas of the body without obvious symptoms. The cancer is able to spread so rapidly throughout the entire body to due to it’s relation to the circulatory system – a unique and often-fatal characteristic of the disease. One of the known causes of angiosarcoma is the toxic chemical vinyl chloride.

Because angiosarcoma is so aggressive, it is a difficult cancer to treat and has an extremely high rate of recurrence, even after treatment is attempted. Although occurring most often in soft body tissues, the skin, liver, spleen, bones, lungs and heart, angiosarcoma can appear anywhere in the body – and usually without warning. Nearly all of the symptoms are difficult to notice and a majority of angiosarcoma victims have no idea that they are suffering from the disease until they are faced with a serious medical emergency.
