For primary angiosarcoma of the breast following mastectomy, what would your targets be for adjuvant radiation therapy?

Topics: Breast Cancer • Radiation Oncology • Sarcoma

Would you cover the chest wall alone or would it be chest wall plus regional nodes?

Patient factors: no prior radiation therapy

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution

For primary angiosarcomas, I typically treat chest wall only as long as no clinically involved nodes. Will go to 60 Gy postop with bolus if margin is negative.
