The role of radiation therapy in the management of HIV-related Kaposi's sarcoma

P S Swift. Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 1996 Oct.

Radiation provides excellent palliation for symptomatic Kaposi's sarcoma in the settings of both limited and advanced disease. Integration of radiotherapy into the overall treatment strategy is critical to ensure that the benefits in terms of symptom reduction are not outweighed by a long-term increase in morbidity.
