Breast angiosarcoma presents following radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery, in the setting of chronic lymphoedema after axillary dissection or as a primary tumour. The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre has significant experience due to large breast and sarcoma units and as a primary radiotherapy centre. Our aims were to evaluate the management and locoregional and distant outcomes after breast angiosarcoma.
