Key result
Exposure to vinyl chloride was confidently associated with only one of the histologically confirmed cases of primary angiosarcoma of the liver in Great Britain between 1963 and 1973.
Observational
A retrospective review of deaths attributed to primary angiosarcoma of the liver in Great Britain from 1963-1973 found that the original diagnosis was often inaccurate and only rarely associated with vinyl chloride exposure.

Confirmed hepatic angiosarcoma rarely links to vinyl chloride; leaves open other etiologies and need for histologic verification in historical data.
Baxter et al. (1977) conducted an observational in Primary angiosarcoma of the liver (ASL). Vinyl chloride exposure was evaluated on Confirmed diagnosis of ASL and association with vinyl chloride exposure. Exposure to vinyl chloride was confidently associated with only one of the histologically confirmed cases of primary angiosarcoma of the liver in Great Britain between 1963 and 1973.
