CancerIndex

CancerIndex is a research and information platform. It is not a physician, does not diagnose, and does not recommend treatment. Population statistics do not predict individual outcomes.

Every number links to its source and retrieval date. Derived metrics carry a formula version. AI-generated synthesis is not enabled in this phase; all content is database-grounded.

Definition

What this entity is

A malignant neoplasm arising from the endothelial cells of the blood vessels. Microscopically, it is characterized by frequently open vascular anastomosing and branching channels. The malignant cells that line the vascular channels are spindle or epithelioid and often display hyperchromatic nuclei. Angiosarcomas most frequently occur in the skin and breast. Patients with long-standing lymphedema are at increased risk of developing angiosarcoma.

Key figures

At a glance

Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".

No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
