Therefore, multimodal treatment with adjuvant radiotherapy and/ or chemotherapy is necessary. Multimodal treatment offers a better outcome than radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone. [oamjms.eu]

Although a distinct vascular tumour, cAS shares many overlapping histopathological features with other vasoformative and epithelioid tumours or ‘mimickers’. cAS shows aggressive behaviour and carries a grave prognosis, thus early diagnosis is of paramount [jcp.bmj.com]

As discussed in the previous section, tumor size is the most common factor for poor prognosis, which is commonly related to a positive surgical margin. [frontiersin.org]

In this review, considering its rarity and etiological difference, we will focus mainly on primary CAS, the narrow sense of CAS (24). [frontiersin.org]
