Abstract

Kaposi sarcoma (KS), in addition to being the most common malignancy among people with AIDS in the USA. [1], has become the most common malignancy overall in entire countries of sub-Saharan Africa [2,3]. AIDS KS prognosis has greatly improved with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) [4], but this tumor is still a major cause of disfigurement, other morbidities, and mortality [4,5].
