Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common tumor associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection and is found in homosexual and bisexual men, injection drug users, and hemophiliacs. Its incidence has declined over the past 20 years, but it is not yet curable. Evaluation, biopsy, workup, and staging are essential to providing proper treatment. Immune system impairment is the single most important predictor of survival.
卡波西肉瘤是与人类免疫缺陷病毒感染相关的最常见肿瘤,见于同性恋和双性恋男性、注射吸毒者及血友病患者。其发病率在过去20年中有所下降,但仍无法治愈。评估、活检、检查及分期对于提供恰当治疗至关重要。免疫系统损害是生存的唯一最重要预测因素。
