Tumor-Associated Edema in Children with Kaposi Sarcoma: 14 Years’ Experience at Kamuzu Central Hospital, Lilongwe, Malawi
Patients with KS edema have a unique, relapsing-remitting pattern of disease with a high risk of relapse relative to other forms of KS with subsequent long-term mortality, even after initial positive treatment responses. Late relapse and mortality with visceral disease are possible even among children presenting initially with KS edema alone. Children with KS edema require long-term follow-up, and novel treatment approaches tailored towards preventing frequent relapse are needed.
