Primary splenic angiosarcoma is a very rare and highly aggressive cancer of the spleen. The spleen is an organ located in the upper left side of the abdomen and plays an important role in filtering blood and supporting the immune system.
In this disease, the cancer starts from the cells that line the blood vessels of the spleen, causing them to grow in an abnormal and uncontrolled manner.
Many sufferers of Primary splenic 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 splenic angiosarcoma. We have recently created an Primary splenic 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.
