Kaposi's sarcoma presents the oncologist with a myriad of unanswered questions. What accounts for the genesis, distribution, and natural history of this tumor? How could a tumor with such a singular histologic appearance occur in such diverse clinical circumstances? What accounts for the unusual geographic, ethnic, and demographic features of Kaposi's sarcoma? Clearly, the answers to these questions will involve a multifactorial etiology, and may only be arrived at by methodical, piecemeal dissection of each question.
卡波西肉瘤给肿瘤学家带来了无数尚未解答的问题。是什么导致了这种肿瘤的发生、分布和自然史？为何具有如此独特组织学外观的肿瘤会出现在如此多样的临床情况下？是什么导致了卡波西肉瘤不寻常的地理、种族和人口统计学特征？显然，这些问题的答案将涉及多因素病因，可能只有通过对每个问题进行有条不紊、逐个击破的剖析才能得出。
