HEERFORDT YR 2021 UL http://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/41/8/3871.abstract AB Background/Aim: We aimed to report our experience obtained by treating AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) with radiotherapy before the era of antiretroviral therapy. Patients and Methods: This investigation was performed as a quality control of KS patients treated with low-dose radiotherapy at our department. KS patients referred to our section from 1983 up until 1990, were treated three times with radiotherapy (29-50 kV, 2-4 Gy), once every second week. Results: Initially, 74 skin KSs were treated three times with 2 Gy, of which 70% were treated successfully. Hereafter, other 2,066 KSs on the skin were treated three times with 4 Gy with a very high success rate of 93%. Additional 165 mucous KSs were treated three times with 4 Gy, of which 91% were treated successfully. Conclusion: Low-dose radiotherapy is effective for the treatment of many AIDS-related KS patients.
