O sarcoma de Kaposi clássico apresenta-se com lesões cutâneas que diferem em tamanho, morfologia e localização. O tratamento visa obter a regressão das lesões mantendo a qualidade de vida, com a abordagem adaptada às características específicas de cada lesão.
O objetivo primário é a regressão das lesões do SK. A resposta é avaliada por alterações no tamanho, espessura e coloração do tumor, bem como pela presença ou resolução do 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.
