The role of radiotherapy in the treatment of a conventional Kaposi sarcoma

  • 1. CHU Mohammed-VI, Marrakech (Morocco)

Description

The authors report a study which aimed at establishing the epidemio-clinical and evolution profile of patients irradiated for a localized Kaposi sarcoma. This retrospective study is based on 10 patients treated between 2005 and 2009. All patients have been irradiated. Even though this pathology is a matter of discussion for its viral or genetic origin, its radio-sensitivity results in local control and a longer survival. Short communication
