Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a cancer that is prevalent in Uganda and one of the five most common cancers in the country. A report from Global Cancer Observatory indicates that Kaposi sarcoma is among the leading causes of cancer death among Ugandan males.
Sarcoma therapy typically involves a combination of treatment modalities, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. It may be used before surgery to shrink the tumor, after surgery to destroy remaining cancer cells, or as a primary treatment for tumors that cannot be removed surgically.
