Several clinical, epidemiological and immunological data support the opportunistic nature of Kaposi's disease. Although the physiopathology of the disease is unknown, its characteristics, and particularly its immunological dependence, have repercussions on treatment which must avoid making the immunological process worse, especially since the proliferation is rarely life-threatening. Recent therapeutic innovations, such as alpha interferon, have failed to bring the expected results which are disappointing in the form associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. In the classical form of the disease radiotherapy and chemotherapy provide a satisfactory improvement without any side-effect that might threaten the patient's life.
多项临床、流行病学和免疫学数据支持卡波西氏病的机会性本质。尽管该疾病的生理病理学尚不清楚，但其特征，尤其是其免疫依赖性，对治疗产生影响，治疗必须避免使免疫过程恶化，特别是因为这种增生很少危及生命。近期的治疗创新，如α干扰素，未能带来与获得性免疫缺陷综合征相关形式中令人失望的预期结果。在该疾病的经典形式中，放疗和化疗可带来令人满意的改善，且无任何可能威胁患者生命的副作用。
