Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common neoplastic disease in patients with disease due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and oral KS (OKS) is the commonest oral neoplasia. OKS has been managed by local excision, intralesional chemotherapy regional radiotherapy, and systemic chemotherapy. Comparison between studies is difficult as the severity of oral involvement is not well defined in most studies. This paper reviews the approach to the management of OKS and also presents a proposal for the clinical staging of OKS. Clinical staging of OKS will facilitate comparisons of outcomes of treatment of OKS and improve our understanding of the natural history of the neoplasia, which has varied presentation and rates of progression.
卡波西肉瘤（KS）是人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染患者中最常见的肿瘤性疾病，而口腔卡波西肉瘤（OKS）是最常见的口腔肿瘤。OKS的治疗方法包括局部切除、病灶内化疗、区域放疗和全身化疗。由于大多数研究中口腔受累的严重程度定义不明确，因此不同研究之间难以进行比较。本文回顾了OKS的治疗方法，并提出了OKS临床分期的建议。OKS的临床分期将有助于比较OKS的治疗结果，并增进我们对这种表现多样、进展速度不一的肿瘤自然史的理解。
