El sarcoma de Kaposi clásico se presenta con lesiones cutáneas que difieren en tamaño, morfología y localización. El tratamiento tiene como objetivo lograr la regresión de las lesiones manteniendo la calidad de vida, y el enfoque se adapta a las características específicas de cada lesión.
El objetivo principal es la regresión de las lesiones de SK. La respuesta se evalúa mediante cambios en el tamaño, el grosor y la coloración del tumor, así como la presencia o resolución del edema.

Local KS treatment options primarily apply to individual cutaneous lesions, especially if they are symptomatic, aesthetically disturbing, or lead to functional impairment, and to patients who cannot tolerate systemic therapy because of side effects and/or comorbidities.
Numerous local treatment options are available for the treatment of individual cutaneous KS lesions, ranging from camouflage, excision, cryotherapy, radiotherapy or intralesional injections of chemotherapeutic agents, to topical therapies with various externals, which can also be used in combination.
The goal of KS treatment is usually to induce regression of the lesions, to achieve control over the course of the disease, and to reduce symptoms while maintaining quality of life and life expectancy.
In addition to subjective parameters, the size, thickness and coloration of the tumors as well as the presence of edema serve as criteria.
