BRCA mutations and the risk of angiosarcoma after breast cancer treatment.

Clinical breast cancer - 1 Dec 2008

West John G, Weitzel Jeffrey N, Tao May Lin, Carpenter Michele, West Justin E, Fanning Caitlin

Abstract excerpt

Post-breast cancer treatment-related angiosarcomas were first observed in lymphedematous extremities after mastectomy and are now being reported with increasing frequency after lumpectomy and radiation. A case history is presented of a BRCA2 carrier who had a postmastectomy chest wall angiosarcoma but had neither therapeutic radiation nor clinically evident lymphedema. The absence of established risk factors led...
