Abstract

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare disease with poor prognosis. A 34-year-old male patient who underwent an open cardiac surgery and diagnosed as cardiac angiosarcoma on the right atrium was admitted to the medical oncology department. Complete curative resection of the tumor was not possible and postoperatively 6 cycles of combination chemotherapy regimen (ifosphamide with mesna protection and doxorubicin) was given. Patient had stable disease for 8 months, and after progression a second-line chemotherapy (paclitaxel) was started but he died after 15 months of diagnosis. Since curative resections are not possible in most of the cardiac angiosarcoma cases, further treatment options are desperately needed.

Özet

Primer kardiyak anjiosarkoma, kötü prognozlu nadir bir hastalıktır. Açık kardiyak cerrahi operasyon olan ve sağ atriumda kardiyak anjiosarkoma tanısı alan 34 yaşında erkek hasta tıbbi onkoloji bölümüne başvurdu. Tümörün tam küratif rezeksiyonu mümkün olmamıştı ve hastaya postoperatif dönemde 6 siklus kombinasyon kemoterapi rejimen (doksorubisin ve mesna korumasıyla ifosfamid) verildi. Hastada 8 ay boyunca stabil hastalık mevcuttu, ve progresyon sonrasında ikinci sıra kemoterapi (paklitaksel) başlandı, ancak hasta tanıdan 15 ay sonra kaybedildi. Kardiyak anjiosarkoma olgularının çoğunda küratif rezeksiyonlar mümkün olmadığından daha ileri tedavi seçeneklerine son derece ihtiyaç vardır.
