Primary Hepatic Angiosarcoma is a very rare and aggressive cancer of the liver. It starts from the cells that line the blood vessels inside the liver. These cells normally help blood flow smoothly through the liver, but in this disease they begin to grow in an uncontrolled and abnormal way, forming a malignant tumour.
Unlike common liver cancers, this cancer does not arise from liver cells themselves but from the blood vessel lining, which makes it behave differently and more aggressively.
Many sufferers of Primary Hepatic Angiosarcoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Primary Hepatic Angiosarcoma. We have recently created an Primary Hepatic Angiosarcoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
