Overview
There is no established system for the staging of Kaposi's sarcoma among immune competent patients. However, the staging of AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma is based on the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) staging system. According to the ACTG staging system, there are 2 groups of AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma based on the tumor size, immune status, and the presence of any systemic illness.[1][2][3][4][5]
Staging
- There is no established system for the staging of Kaposi's sarcoma among immune competent patients.
- The staging of AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma is based on the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) staging system. According to the ACTG staging system, there are 2 groups of AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma based on the tumor size, immune status, and the presence of any systemic illness.

- Early stage groups, which are associated with a good risk, include T0S0, T1S0, and T0S1.
- Advanced stage groups, which are associated with a poor risk, include T0S0I1, T1S0I1, T0S1I1, T1S1, and T1S1I1.
