Absolute Event Rate: 46% vs 0%
Complete surgical resection is essential for improving survival in primary angiosarcoma of bone, while metastatic disease has a very poor prognosis.

Palmerini et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Primary angiosarcoma of bone (n=60). Surgical complete remission vs. No surgical complete remission was evaluated on 5-year overall survival. Achieving surgical complete remission was associated with a 5-year overall survival of 46%, compared to 0% for patients who did not achieve complete remission.
