Management of AIDS-Defining Cancers
Summary
- KS is staged according to tumor stage and the presence of systemic disease (Table 1)[Nasti 2003b]
- Prognosis and the need for chemotherapy can be predicted by HHV-8 DNA status at the time of diagnosis,[El Amari 2008] and by a scoring system based on clinical and demographic factors[Stebbing 2006]
- Patients with a poor-risk prognostic score should be initially treated with ART and systemic chemotherapy (Management Guidelines)[BHIVA HIV Cancer]
