Abstract:
:Hepatic angiosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant neoplasm of the liver. Although comprising only 2 per cent of all hepatic primary tumors, it represents a major clinical problem because of its strong association with industrial vinyl chloride exposure and its incurability. Strict ceilings on the amount of exposure for vinyl chloride workers has reduced the incidence of this devastating tumor. In addition, recent chemotherapeutic trials have provided both improved performance status and prolonged survival in several patients.
