DiagnosisKaposi sarcoma

ICD-O-39140/3; C46

Etiological driver

Etiological driver · etiologically_driven archetype
Kaposi sarcoma
  • HHV-8 / KSHV (Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus) — IARC Group 1 carcinogen; obligate etiology
  • HIV-related immunocompromise (AIDS-defining malignancy)
  • Iatrogenic immunosuppression (solid-organ transplant recipients; post-transplant tumor regression with mTOR-inhibitor conversion is documented)
  • Classic (Mediterranean / elderly male) form — HHV-8 prevalent regions
  • Endemic (sub-Saharan African) form — HHV-8 prevalent without HIV

Primary current-line option

Standard plan
★ DEFAULT
Indication
IND-KAPOSI-1L-IATROGENIC-MTOR-CONVERSION
Regimen
Sirolimus conversion (iatrogenic/transplant-associated Kaposi sarcoma)
Drugs + NSZU
  • Sirolimus (DRUG-SIROLIMUS) Per transplant-team protocol -- typically initiated at low dose (e.g. 1-2 mg PO once daily) and titrated to institutional/transplant-program target trough level while the calcineurin-inhibitor component of the immunosuppression regimen is tapered · Continuous; conversion performed under transplant-team supervision with graft-function monitoring · PO ⚠ Out-of-pocket
Reason
Primary current-line option selected by ALGO-KAPOSI-1L at step 3.

Other current-line alternatives (3 tracks)

Same treatment line; review when biomarker, access, contraindication, or patient-context assumptions change.
Standard plan
Indication
IND-KAPOSI-1L-AIDS-ART
Regimen
Biktarvy — bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir-AF single-tablet ART
Drugs + NSZU
  • Bictegravir / Emtricitabine / Tenofovir alafenamide (DRUG-BICTEGRAVIR-EMTRICITABINE-TENOFOVIR-AF) 50/200/25 mg PO (single tablet) · once daily, with or without food · PO ⚠ NSZU — not for this indication

Reason
Current-line alternative presented for HCP consideration
Standard plan
Indication
IND-KAPOSI-1L-VISCERAL-PLD
Regimen
Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin monotherapy (Kaposi sarcoma)
Drugs + NSZU
  • Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (DRUG-PEGYLATED-LIPOSOMAL-DOXORUBICIN) 20 mg/m² IV every 2-3 weeks · Day 1 of each 14-21 day cycle · IV ⚠ Out-of-pocket
Reason
Current-line alternative presented for HCP consideration

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • Visceral organ involvement (pulmonary, gastrointestinal, or other visceral site) OR extensive/rapidly progressive mucocutaneous disease (widespread cutaneous lesions, tumor-associated lymphedema, or ulceration) in Kaposi sarcoma of any epidemiologic form (AIDS- associated, iatrogenic, classic, or endemic). Symptomatic/extensive disease of this kind is not expected to be adequately controlled by immune restoration (ART / immunosuppression rebalance) or local therapy alone and drives escalation to systemic chemotherapy.
    New disease-extent gate authored for the DIS-KAPOSI treatment pathway (v0.3 continuation -- closes the "missing TREATMENT-intent Indications" gap). Distinct from the pre-existing PREVENTION-persona RF-CHRONIC-HHV8-MALIGNANCY-PREVENTION…

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-KAPOSI-1L-IATROGENIC-MTOR-CONVERSION)
  • Do not change a transplant recipient's immunosuppression regimen unilaterally, without transplant-team consult.
  • Do not use mTOR-inhibitor conversion as sole therapy for visceral or extensive disease.
  • Do not discontinue immunosuppression entirely -- the goal is rebalancing, not withdrawal.
Standard plan (IND-KAPOSI-1L-AIDS-ART)
  • Do not use ART as sole therapy for visceral or extensive disease -- added systemic chemotherapy is required.
  • Do not interrupt ART during any subsequent cancer treatment without an HIV-specialist consult.
  • Do not skip drug-drug interaction screening before adding any cancer treatment.
Local therapy plan (IND-KAPOSI-1L-CLASSIC-LOCAL-OBSERVATION)
  • Do not skip histologic confirmation and exclusion of HIV-associated / iatrogenic forms before choosing an observation strategy.
  • Do not use systemic chemotherapy as first-line therapy for limited cutaneous classic/endemic disease.
  • Do not ignore signs of progression -- reassess against IND-KAPOSI-1L-VISCERAL-PLD.
Standard plan (IND-KAPOSI-1L-VISCERAL-PLD)
  • Do not interrupt ART during PLD chemotherapy for the AIDS-associated form.
  • Do not change a transplant recipient's immunosuppression without transplant-team consult, even during chemotherapy.
  • Do not skip baseline and serial LVEF assessment -- cumulative anthracycline cardiotoxicity risk.
  • Do not dilute PLD in normal saline -- disrupts the liposomes; D5W only.
