Indian J Med Paediatr Oncol. 2017 Apr-Jun;38(2):228-231. doi: 10.4103/ijmpo.ijmpo_156_16.

Abstract

Primary angiosarcoma of the breast is a highly aggressive but rare malignant neoplasm. Palliative chemotherapy with different agents and combinations has been tried in the metastatic setting with poor results. We present the case of a young woman with this disease describing her aggressive course. We used a metronomic combination of oral drugs due to her poor general condition and achieved disease stabilization although not durable.

Keywords: Angiosarcoma; metronomic; propranolol.
