Cardiac Angiosarcoma International Registry
Primary cardiac angiosarcomas (PCA) are highly aggressive malignant heart tumors arising from the endothelial cells (ECs) lining the blood vessels of the heart and account for approximately 25%-30% of all primary cardiac malignancies. It is considered to be the most fatal and aggressive primary cardiac malignancy. This international registry aims to establish a large multicenter database of patients with cardiac angiosarcoma. Our objectives are:
1. Collect clinical data, including demographics, medical history, treatments, and outcomes, to build a comprehensive database.
2. Analyze data to evaluate and identify genetic, environmental, or lifestyle risk factors for cardiac angiosarcoma.
3. Evaluate the effectiveness of various treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation) to inform best practices.
4. Develop evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management based on registry data.
