Ways To Treat Kaposi's Sarcoma
October 1, 2018
Kaposi's sarcoma is cancer caused by a type of herpes virus. The most prevalent form of Kaposi's sarcoma is linked to patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Lesions are the main sign of this condition, but they aren't always visible. These masses of abnormal tissue can appear on the skin or inside the body. Cancer can invade lymph nodes and organs like the lungs. The first visible sign of Kaposi's sarcoma is usually one or more red or purple patches on the skin. Lesions can spread quickly over time to various parts of the body. A weak immune system is a major risk factor and treatment depends on the patient's condition and health.
