AB Kaposi's sarcoma and AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma resistant to
chemotherapy were irradiated locally in 14 and 1 patient, respectively,
and followed up for 1--6 years. The energy (10 MeV) in the total focal
dose of 24--40 Gy was emitted as high-speed electrons from a medical
accelerator. An immediate response was obtained in all the patients. The
recurrence occurred in AIDS-associated sarcoma only. It is recommended
that Kaposi's sarcoma should be treated by high-speed electron radiation
covering the lesion and adjacent sites of the intact skin. Total focal
dose must not exceed 30 Gy, in case of circulatory disturbances in the
low limbs the dose is to be reduced to 20 Gy.
