10. Treatment

Currently, there is no cure for Kaposi’s sarcoma and treatments can vary to address different factors. For epidemic Kaposi’s sarcoma, medications that boost immune system activity are effective. People who have received a transplant will simply stop taking their immunosuppressants or try a different type. Minor surgeries can treat skin lesions that appear. People with many skin lesions will usually undergo radiation treatments. If Kaposi’s sarcoma has spread to the internal organs, chemotherapy is the most effective option.
