Targeting mTOR in HIV-Negative Classic Kaposi's Sarcoma

Sarcoma. 2008:2008:825093. doi: 10.1155/2008/825093.

Abstract

A 66-year old female with HIV-negative classic Kaposi's sarcoma responded to mTOR targeting by rapamycin. The response was well documented by PET-CT. This case provides supporting evidence that the mTOR pathway may be important in the tumorigenesis of KS and that rapamycin may have activity in this disease.
