Liposomal Pegylated Doxorubicin versus Low-Dose Recombinant Interferon Alfa-2a in the Treatment of Advanced Classic Kaposi's Sarcoma; Retrospective Analysis of Three German Centers

Abstract

This retrospective analysis of patients with classic KS confirms the efficacy and safety of PLD. The benefits of PLD, including the monthly application, the high response even after previous treatments have failed, and the low rate of side effects even in elderly individuals, outweigh the risks. PLD is superior to IFNalpha and should be considered as an promising option in the treatment of advanced classic KS.
