Radical chest wall resection and hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy for radiation‐associated angiosarcoma of the breast: A safe and effective treatment strategy
Abstract
Radiation-associated angiosarcomas (RAS) of the breast are vascular tumors arising in a previous radiation field for primary breast cancer. They occur rarely but confer a high probability of local recurrence (LR) and poor prognosis.
