Vascular Disease
Hammar Springer Science & Business Media, 29 Jun 2013 - Medical - 1656 pages The first edition of Pulmonary Pathology was dedicated to Vascular Diseases. Vasculitis is so complex as to con two giants in the field, Drs. [books.google.com]
Initial clinical diagnostic impressions included pericarditis, vasculitis due to a collagen vascular disease, interstitial pneumonia, sarcoidosis, and metastatic adenocarcinoma ( n 13). [nature.com]
Cardiovascular late side effects have been termed radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) and radiation-induced vascular disease (RIVD). [24] Symptoms are dose dependent and include cardiomyopathy, myocardial fibrosis, valvular heart disease, coronary [en.wikipedia.org]
Workup
In this series, four patients with pericardial effusions were at first thought to have nonneoplastic disease, the workups of whom included two negative bloody pericardial fluid cytology exams, and two patients were initially treated with prednisone for [nature.com]

Trials are often designed to treat a certain stage of cancer, either as the first form of treatment offered, or as an option for treatment after other treatments have failed to work. [oncolink.org]
In some treatment centres, it has become the treatment of choice for KS. [cancer.ca]
Prognosis
People who take HAART have a better prognosis. [drugs.com]
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options. The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following: The type of Kaposi sarcoma. [rarecancers.org.au]
The KS was controlled with chemotherapy and ongoing HAART. [ 13 ] Prognosis Prognosis depends on the type of KS, status of the patient's immune system, presence of dissemination and whether this is the first appearance of KS or a recurrence. [patient.info]
Patients with only skin involvement, higher CD4 and who are free of HIV-related symptoms have better prognosis. [info.gov.hk]

Etiology An etiological association with human herpes virus type 8 (HHV8) has been postulated. The AIDS-related and post-transplant variant are associated with immunosuppressive states. [radiopaedia.org]
Originally, the disease was believed to be a form of primary skin cancer; however, a viral etiology now has been firmly established. [1, 2, 3, 4] Bronchopulmonary KS has been found on autopsy in 47% of patients with AIDS who had cutaneous Ks. [5] Preferred [emedicine.medscape.com]
