Angiosarcoma is nothing but cancers that initiate with inside the lining of blood vessels or lymph vessels. It is a kind of soft-tissue sarcoma, which might be stable tumors that start in tissues that connect, support, or surround organs and tissues. Angiosarcoma could be very rare the symptoms of tumor are different from one person to another. Angiosarcoma is vascular tumor. Angiosarcoma is also classified into 4 stages:

Stage 1: The tumor is tinny and contained in the region in which it began out.

Stage 2: The angiosarcoma has not spread to other parts of the body but it is advanced stage to stage 1.

Stage 3: In this stage the tumor has spread to other parts.

Stage 4: It is a chronic stage, uncontrollably growth of tumors leads to damage the organs it is also known as metastatic cancer.

Symptoms

The symptoms are based on where tumor is located. The most common symptoms are:

• Appearance of Lesions

• Formation of lumps

• Inflammation on surrounding skin

• General pain in the tumor region

• Color change of skin

• Coughing with blood

• Fever, weight loss, night sweats, fatigue

Causes

In maximum cases, the reason of an angiosarcoma isn’t known. But there are a few matters that may make you much more likely to get it:

• By using of radiation therapy

• Lymphedema, a swelling due to injury of lymph vessels

• Exposure to a few chemicals, which includes arsenic, vinyl chloride, and thorium dioxide, these are also known as Environmental Carcinogens

• Other causes like AIDS, pre-existing lesions.

Diagnosis

MRI, CT, PET scan, biopsy helps to know the location, size of tumors and tell about the severity of disease

• Take a small quantity of tissue then kept below the microscope, the piece of tumor eliminated is analyzed through a pathologist who makes a speciality of comparing cells, tissues and organs to diagnose disease.

• This diagnostic method makes use of a mixture of massive magnets, radiofrequencies and a laptop to provide special pics of organs and systems in the body. The pics are used to in addition outline the tumor`s size, vicinity and different characteristics.

If chemotherapy mostly preferd it leads to cytotoxic. This means that they will be able to kill tumor cells along with normal cell.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy makes use of high-power debris or waves, along with x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or protons, to kill the harmful cancers cells. Our cells commonly develop and divide to shape of new cells. But most cancers cells develop and divide quicker than our cells. Radiation helps to kill the tumor by break down of internal DNA of cancer cells.

Surgery

It is the oldest method for cancers treatment, cancer surgical treatment is an operation or method to take out a tumor and probably a few close by tissue.
