Kaposi's Sarcoma - Prognosis



The prognosis for KS differs significantly for various forms of the disease. Patients with classic KS stand a good chance of complete recovery if they receive treatment soon enough. The prognosis for African endemic KS is not very good. The disease tends to spread rapidly and causes death within a relatively short period of time. Milder forms of AIDS-related KS can often be controlled. If the disease spreads to internal organs, however, prognosis is much less certain.
