Abstract

Radiotherapy (RT) is an effective treatment for local palliation of Kaposi’s sarcoma. However, there is no standardized RT dose and technique. Usually, electrons or low-energy photons are used, and various bolus materials are utilized for better dose distribution. High treatment response rates have been reported in all RT schemes. When the literature is examined in terms of dose and schema, for cutaneous lesions, single fraction treatments
