For primary angiosarcoma of the breast following mastectomy, what would your targets be for adjuvant radiation therapy?

Would you cover the chest wall alone or would it be chest wall plus regional nodes?

Patient factors: no prior radiation therapy

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution

For primary angiosarcomas, I typically treat chest wall only as long as no clinically involved nodes. Will go to 60 Gy postop with bolus if margin is negative.
