Kaposi sarcoma is a type of cancer characterized by the abnormal growth of blood vessels that develop into skin lesions or occur internally. Sarcoma is a cancer of the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- For example, doxorubicin lipid complex is also used to treat Kaposi`s sarcoma (a type of cancer that causes abnormal tissue to grow on different parts of the body) related to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that has not improved or that has worsened after treatment with other medications. Immunodeficiency is the decreased ability of the body to fight infections and other diseases. Lipid, fat. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). People with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are at an increased risk for developing certain cancers and for infections that usually occur only in individuals with a weak immune system. Also called AIDS. Syndrome is a set of symptoms or conditions that occur together and suggest the presence of a certain disease or an increased chance of developing the disease. Immunodeficiency syndrome is the inability of the body to produce an immune response. Tissue is a group or layer of cells that work together to perform a specific function. Abnormal, not normal.

- You can notice, safe sexual practices can prevent HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus) infection. This prevents AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and its complications, including Kaposi`s sarcoma. HIV is the cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Also called human immunodeficiency virus. Virus is in medicine, a very simple microorganism that infects cells and may cause disease. Because viruses can multiply only inside infected cells, they are not considered to be alive. Infection, invasion and multiplication of germs in the body. Infections can occur in any part of the body and can spread throughout the body. The germs may be bacteria, viruses, yeast, or fungi. They can cause a fever and other problems, depending on where the infection occurs. When the body`s natural defense system is strong, it can often fight the germs and prevent infection. Some cancer treatments can weaken the natural defense system.
- Seemingly, kaposi`s sarcoma is a cancerous tumor of the connective tissue, and is often associated with AIDS.A.D.A.M. Connective tissue, supporting tissue that surrounds other tissues and organs. Specialized connective tissue includes bone, cartilage, blood, and fat. Tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Tumors may be benign (not cancer), or malignant (cancer). Also called neoplasm.
