Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation, commonly called SANT, is a rare condition that affects the spleen. The spleen is an organ in the upper left side of the abdomen that helps filter blood and fight infections. In most cases, SANT is a non-cancerous (benign) condition made up of abnormal blood vessel growth inside the spleen.
However, in very rare situations, a malignant (cancerous) variant can develop. In this form, the cells behave abnormally, grow more aggressively, and may have the ability to spread. This malignant version is extremely uncommon and is considered a rare vascular tumour of the spleen.
Many sufferers of Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation 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 Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation. We have recently created an Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation 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.
