MedlinePlus: Kaposi's sarcoma is a cancer that causes patches of abnormal tissue to grow under the skin, in the lining of the mouth, nose, and throat or in other organs. the patches are usually red or purple and are made of cancer cells and blood cells. the red and purple patches often cause no symptoms, though they may be painful. if the cancer spreads to the digestive tract or lungs, bleeding can result. lung tumors can make breathing hard.
before the hiv/aids epidemic, ks usually developed slowly. in hiv/aids patients, though, the disease moves quickly. treatment depends on where the lesions are and how bad they are. treatment for hiv itself can shrink the lesions. however, treating ks does not improve survival from hiv/aids itself.

MalaCards: Kaposi's Sarcoma, also known as kaposi sarcoma, is related to sarcoma and classic kaposi sarcoma. An important gene associated with Kaposi's Sarcoma is SLC7A11 (solute carrier family 7 (anionic amino acid transporter light chain, xc- system), member 11), and among its related pathways are Cytokine production by Th17 cells in CF and Immune response IL-9 signaling pathway. The drugs dactinomycin and etoposide and the compounds rantes and ifn-alpha have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include whole blood, lymph node and heart, and related mouse phenotypes are homeostasis/metabolism and cellular. Disease Ontology: A connective tissue cancer that derives from lymphatic endothelium, and derives from spindle cells, results in formation of vascular channels that fill with blood cells, has material basis in human herpesvirus 8 (hhv8).6 OMIM: 148000 |
