Key result
Angiosarcoma was associated with a 17% prevalence of disseminated intravascular coagulation, compared to 0% in patients with epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
Observational (n=59)
No
Absolute Event Rate: 17% vs 0%
Angiosarcomas can be associated with a consumptive coagulopathy that correlates with disease activity, highlighting the need for vigilance during therapy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support DIC vigilance in angiosarcoma; leaves open whether monitoring alters outcomes in vascular sarcomas.
Farid et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Angiosarcoma (n=59). Angiosarcoma vs. Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was evaluated on Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Angiosarcoma was associated with a 17% prevalence of disseminated intravascular coagulation, compared to 0% in patients with epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
