Kaposi sarcoma: A cytokine-responsive neoplasia?

  • Chapter
Oncogenes and Tumor Suppressor Genes in Human Malignancies

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 63))

Abstract

Kaposi sarcoma is the most common malignant complication of HIV infection [1,2]. While the incidence has steadily declined since AIDS was first described [3–5], Kaposi sarcoma still affects nearly 30% of patients at some time during their disease course. Since both the extent of disease and rate of progression varies widely between patients [6], cytokines are hypothesized to be involved in the pathogenesis of this neoplasia [7–11].
