Long-term survival of a patient with scalp angiosarcoma and multiple metastases treated using combination therapy: A case report.

Abstract:

:Angiosarcoma is a rare and deadly malignancy originating from the vascular endothelial cells. Surgery is the most effective method to cure this disease, but for metastatic angiosarcoma, a chemotherapy-based treatment is the main therapeutic choice. However, there is currently no standard chemotherapy regimen. The current study reports the case of a 66-year-old male with post-operative scalp angiosarcoma recurrence and multiple metastases. The patient obtained a complete response to first-line combination chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine and dacarbazine, with a progression-free survival time of eight months. After benefitting from subsequent comprehensive treatment including, cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine, dacarbazine, docetaxel, cisplatin, gemcitabine and radiotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy, the patient obtained an overall survival time of 38 months following initial diagnosis.
