Response from Dr. Daar
 Thank you for your post. It is very difficult to know since KS behaves so differently in each person. I would suggest you talk to your primary provider and perhaps a cancer doctor to assess how severe your KS is and what treatment options exist. For those with KS limited to small areas on their skin I would be very optimistic that this can be controlled in most cases with antiretrovirals and occassionally additional local therapies. Best, Eric |
