Hepatic Epithelioid Angiosarcoma (HEA) is a very rare and aggressive cancer of the liver. It develops from the cells that line blood vessels in the liver, called endothelial cells.
It is a subtype of angiosarcoma in which the cancer cells look more like epithelial cells under the microscope. In simple words, HEA is a rare liver cancer that starts from abnormal blood vessel cells and spreads quickly.
Many sufferers of Hepatic Epithelioid 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 Hepatic Epithelioid Angiosarcoma. We have recently created an Hepatic Epithelioid 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.
