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]
