Abstract

While the treatment of iatrogenic and HIV-related KS is well defined, mostly based on restoring the immune function, the treatment of classic/endemic KS is less codified. Chemotherapy or interferon are used for patients (pts) with extensive cutaneous and/or visceral KS but the tolerance may be poor in elderly pts, and long-term remissions are rare. Major efficacy of PD1 blockade has been demonstrated in Merkel cell carcinoma, another virus-induced tumor, in part driven by the immunogenicity of virus-associated antigens.
