HIV-positive Patients often suffer from the symptoms of accompanying diseases. Palliative radiation therapy of associated tumors leads to an improvement of the patient's condition. Particularly skin tumors, which give rise to pronounced itching and ulcerating, are eliminated fast and safe by radiation therapy. Between 1984 and 1988, 6 HIV patients with Kaposi's sarcoma at different sites, and one HIV-patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were treated by radiation therapy. Depending on tumor site, photons or fast electrons were used. Cosmetic results were satisfying or even excellent in all patients. With one exception complete local tumor control was obtained. Side effects leading to a peace of treatment did not occur.
HIV阳性患者常伴有其他疾病症状。对相关肿瘤进行姑息性放射治疗可改善患者病情。特别是皮肤肿瘤，会引起明显瘙痒和溃疡，放射治疗能快速且安全地消除这些肿瘤。1984年至1988年期间，对6例不同部位患有卡波西肉瘤的HIV患者以及1例患有非霍奇金淋巴瘤的HIV患者进行了放射治疗。根据肿瘤部位，使用了光子或快电子。所有患者的美容效果均令人满意甚至极佳。除1例例外，均实现了局部肿瘤的完全控制。未出现导致治疗中断的副作用。
