It can affect almost any part of your body, including your blood vessels. Although cancer is often thought of as a human disease, it also affects pets and many wild animals. It’s estimated that more than 1.66 million humans and 4.2 million dogs are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States.

While blood vessel cancer is also common in cats, it’s not as common in cats as it is in dogs. Cancer that forms in the lining of blood vessels is very rare in people. In humans, this cancer is called angiosarcoma.

<h3>Symptoms treatment and outlook</h3> Here’s a look at the typical symptoms, and the treatment and outlook for someone with angiosarcoma.Symptoms: When an angiosarcoma forms in blood vessels in your skin, it often causes purple-ish bruises that bleed easily and don’t heal. If an angiosarcoma grows on an internal organ, it may not cause problems until it grows large.Treatment: Treatment usually consists of some combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. It may also include targeted therapy or immunotherapy.Outlook: Your outlook depends on factors such as how far the cancer has spread and where it’s found.

<h3>Symptoms treatment and outlook</h3> Here’s a look at the typical symptoms, treatment, and outlook for dogs.Symptoms: Even dogs with large blood vessel cancers might not show obvious symptoms. Damage to the blood vessel can cause blood loss that leads to lethargy and weakness. This may be brief and appear as episodes of lethargy and weakness, rather than a gradual worsening of symptoms.Treatment: The majority of hemangiosarcomas in dogs form in their spleen.
