Clinical outcomes in primary scalp angiosarcoma.

Abstract:

:Scalp angiosarcoma is a rare, extremely aggressive cutaneous malignancy with poor patient prognosis. The present study reviewed the cases of 42 patients who presented scalp angiosarcoma and were treated at the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between January 2002 and December 2013. The clinical characteristics, demographics, treatment regimens and outcomes of patients were analyzed, and the overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were calculated. A total of 42 patients were examined in this study. Surgery was the most common therapeutic measure, and was performed in 39 patients, alone (12 patients), in combination with chemotherapy (14 patients), radiotherapy (6 patients) or 3-modality-therapy (7 patients). The median follow-up time of patients was 28.5 months. The 5-year OS rate was 19%, and the 5-year RFS rate was 10%. Taken together, the results of the present study suggested that patients whose tumor presented a nodular localized lesion had a significantly improved OS rate (P=0.0078). Patients aged ≥70 years were associated with a lower 5-year OS (P=0.0071) and RFS rates (P=0.0095) vs. patients aged <70 years. Different treatments were not identified to be significantly associated with an improved OS or RFS. The present results also indicated that if the tumor presented nodular localized lesions, the patients exhibited a better prognosis than those with a diffuse lesion. Although younger patients had better clinical outcomes, the likelihood of recurrence and mortality remained high for all patients.
