About Radiation Induced Angiosarcoma

Radiation-induced angiosarcoma (RIA) is a rare but aggressive type of cancer that develops in the skin or soft tissues of an area previously treated with radiation therapy, often for breast cancer or other malignancies. It is a late complication, typically appearing 5-10 years after the initial radiation exposure. A radiation oncologist plays a crucial role in both the diagnosis and management of this condition. The primary treatment involves surgical resection with wide margins. Radiation therapy may be considered in specific scenarios, such as adjuvant treatment after surgery for positive margins or as palliative care for inoperable tumors, but it is used with extreme caution due to the cancer's origin. Multidisciplinary care involving surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, and pathologists is essential for optimal outcomes.

Key Highlights

Multidisciplinary management led by a radiation oncologist familiar with late radiation effects.Focus on achieving complete surgical resection, which offers the best chance for cure.Personalized treatment planning based on tumor location, size, and patient history.Critical role in palliative care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life for advanced cases.

Who is this surgery for?

Confirmed diagnosis of angiosarcoma via biopsy in a previously irradiated field.
Development of new skin lesions (e.g., purplish nodules, plaques, or bruise-like areas) in an area of prior radiation therapy.
As an adjuvant therapy following surgery if margins are positive or close.
For palliative management of pain, bleeding, or ulceration in unresectable or metastatic disease.

How to prepare

Comprehensive review of the patient's original cancer history and radiation therapy records.
Multidisciplinary tumor board discussion involving surgical, medical, and radiation oncology.
Imaging studies (MRI, CT, or PET-CT) to determine the extent of the disease.
Complete blood work and cardiac evaluation to assess fitness for potential surgery or systemic therapy.
Detailed patient counseling on the aggressive nature of the disease and the treatment plan.

Risks & possible complications

High risk of local recurrence even after aggressive treatment.
Potential for metastasis to lungs, bones, or liver.
Surgical risks include infection, poor wound healing (common in irradiated tissue), and lymphedema.
If radiation is used, risks of skin toxicity, fibrosis, and damage to underlying organs.
Side effects from systemic chemotherapy if included in the treatment regimen.

Recovery & hospital stay

Post-surgical recovery focuses on wound care and monitoring for signs of infection or poor healing.
Regular follow-up appointments every 3-6 months for the first few years to monitor for recurrence.
Physical therapy may be recommended to manage lymphedema or improve mobility.
Emotional and psychological support is crucial due to the challenging nature of this secondary cancer.
Long-term surveillance with periodic imaging as advised by the oncology team.

Typical hospital stay: 5-10 days
Expected recovery time: 4-8 weeks

A 72-year-old retired fisherman from Jaffa presented with inoperable liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Dr. Bar Orian implemented stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in five fractions. The patient, who lived alone and had limited Hebrew proficiency, showed remarkable tumor regression at 3-month follow-up with minimal side effects.
