A case-control study was performed to determine the role of rural factors including occupation and previous malaria exposure in the development of classic Kaposi's sarcoma (CKS) in a high incidence area of Europe. The occurrence of CKS association with other malignancies was also examined. The results showed that the risk of having CKS was significantly increased in subjects farming cereals, while a previous history of malaria did not influence the risk of developing CKS. A near-significant increase in associated tumours was found.
在欧洲一个高发病率地区开展了一项病例对照研究，以确定包括职业和既往疟疾暴露在内的农村因素在经典卡波西肉瘤（CKS）发病中的作用。同时还研究了CKS与其他恶性肿瘤的关联情况。结果显示，种植谷物的受试者患CKS的风险显著增加，而既往疟疾史并不影响患CKS的风险。研究发现相关肿瘤有近乎显著的增加。
