The role of radiotherapy in the treatment of epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma needs to be defined. Over the past 4 years, we have irradiated 47 Kaposi's sarcomas in 38 patients having AIDS. Doses ranging from 800 cGy in 1 fraction to 3000 cGy in 10 fractions over 2 weeks were applied on an individualized basis. Treatment generally was successful in achieving palliation; however, toxicity in certain circumstances argues against indiscriminate use of this modality.
放射疗法在流行性卡波西肉瘤治疗中的作用有待明确。在过去4年里，我们对38例患有艾滋病的患者身上的47处卡波西肉瘤进行了放射治疗。照射剂量根据个体情况而定，范围从单次800厘戈瑞到两周内分10次照射共3000厘戈瑞。治疗总体上成功实现了姑息效果；然而，在某些情况下出现的毒性反应表明不应不加区分地使用这种治疗方式。
