My brother died of angiosarcoma a couple of years ago and I haven't ever been able to get much information about it. (Except that it's prognosis is not ever good.) So I'm wondering, does it, like some other cancers, tend to run in families; is it closely linked with other kinds of cancer (my father died of leukemia, for instance)?

Nasty business.

Thanks for your help.

Hello

Angiosarcoma is not tipically linked to cancers that run in families.
So far the most common cancers that run in families are: colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer.

But it is very difficult to know when the cases are "sporadic" and when they are linked to family.

regards.
