		Angiosarcoma is an extremely rare and deadly form of cancer that attacks the membranes of blood vessels.
		About 300 people a year develop angiosarcoma, mostly due to a side effect of radiation therapy for breast cancer, but a significant portion of those unfortunate people were exposed to the chemical vinyl chloride, an important component of many industrial processes.
		The proliferation of this deadly chemical exposed millions to the dangers of angiosarcoma, and because the cancer takes decades to develop, doctors predict a potential angiosarcoma pandemic in the years to come.
