Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS: the role of radiation therapy.

Australasian Radiology
A D ChowdhuryC S Benjamin

Abstract

Radiotherapy can provide good palliation for AIDS patients with symptomatic Kaposi's sarcoma. We have retrospectively reviewed the treatment of 13 lesions in 5 patients. All treated tumours demonstrated significant regression with moderate doses of radiation. Side effects were acceptable and treatment provided good pain relief, functional improvement, and restoration of cosmesis. Our experience confirms that radiotherapy has a meaningful role in the management of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma.
