Combination of Anlotinib and Temozolomide Results in Sustained Response in Multimodal-Resistant Primary Breast Angiosarcoma with Metastasis to Skull Base and Dural Involvement: A Case Study
To report a unique case of primary breast angiosarcoma with skull base and dural metastasis, highlighting its significance in the context of existing literature, and evaluate the efficacy of anlotinib and temozolomide as a salvage therapy.
Key Findings:
First documented case of skull base metastasis and dural involvement from primary breast angiosarcoma, expanding the known spectrum of this malignancy.
Anlotinib and temozolomide combination achieved rapid symptomatic and radiographic control, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy.
The treatment was well-tolerated with no adverse events reported.
Interpretation:
The combination therapy suggests a potential synergistic effect against both angiogenesis and central nervous system metastases in angiosarcoma, warranting further investigation into the underlying mechanisms.
Limitations:
Single case study limits generalizability of findings; further studies are needed to validate the efficacy and safety of the treatment regimen.
Long-term efficacy and safety of the treatment regimen remain to be established.
Conclusion:
The case highlights the importance of targeting angiogenesis and utilizing CNS-penetrating agents in treating aggressive malignancies like breast angiosarcoma with atypical metastasis.
