I. Kaposi's sarcoma
Kaposi's sarcoma is a cancerous tumor of the
connective tissue caused by human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8), and is often
associated with AIDS, leading to red or purple bumps of abnormal tissue
to grow under the skin, in the lining of the mouth, face, torso or limb
in a short rime. In fact, it is most commonly appear in the skin, the
lining of the digestive tract or the lung and in men more often than in
women. Kaposi' sarcoma tends to develop slowly, but in HIV/AIDS
patients, though, the disease is aggressive and spread quickly. Kaposi'
carcoma can be life threatening, if the cancer invades the to other
organs, such as in lung, it can cause difficulty of breathing and in
in liver or digestive tract, it can cause internal bleeding.
II. Types of Kaposi' sarcoma1. Classic/Mediterranean Kaposi' sarcoma
Classic
Kaposi' sarcome is rare cancer developed more common in older men of
Mediterranean, Middle Eastern or Jewish descent as it forms one or more
lesions on the legs, ankles, or the soles of the feet. The classic
Koposi' sarcoma is a slower growth type of cancer because of the
progression without weaken immune system and many early diagnosis do not
require treatment.
2. Endemic (African) Kaposi sarcoma
Endemic
KS is found in parts of Africa due to human herpes virus 8 or
herpesvirus infection is more common. It develops more quickly affect
men, women and children of all ages, but tends to occur in younger men
under age 40.
3. Iatrogenic/transplant-associated Kaposi sarcoma
In
this case, Iatrogenic/transplant-associated Kaposi sarcoma occurs to
patient with infection of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)
due to medication used to suppress the immune system of the body from
rejecting the donated organ in transplant, leading to the increased
risk of development of the disease.
4. Kaposi sarcoma in HIV negative men having sex with men
Recently
report from the above study from Department of Dermatology, Cochin
Hospital, APHP, Faculté de Médecine René Descartes, Paris, France,
indicated that Kaposi's sarcoma may develop in homosexual or bisexual
men without HIV infection. This type of Kaposi's sarcoma has clinical
features in common with classical Kaposi's sarcoma but occurs in younger
patients.
5. Epidemic/AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma
Epidemic/AIDS-related
Kaposi sarcoma is a common type of Kaposi's in The US occurred in the
people with HIV infection cause of weakening or damaging of the immune
system. The risk of developing KS is depended to the CD4 count. If the
CD4 count is lower, the higher the risk of developing Kaposi's sarcoma.
III. Types of Food to prevent and treat Kaposi's sarcoma
1. Dark, leafy greens and red, orange and yellow fruits and vegetable
β-Carotene is a phytochemincal
in the class of Carotenes, belonging to the group of Carotenoids
(tetraterpenoids), found abundantly in dark, leafy greens and red, orange and yellow fruits and vegetable. Short communication: possible activity of beta-carotene in patients with the AIDS related complex. A pilot study , showed that BC appeared to prevent progress to AIDS and, in addition, to lower the
effective dosage of AZT used in one case of ARC developed into AIDS,
producing a recovery from opportunistic infections and an inhibition of Kaposi sarcoma diffusion, in line with a two-fold rise in CD4 counts(1).
2. Apples, bilberries and cranberries
Oleanolic acid triterpenoid, is a group of phytochemical found abundantly in Apples, bilberries and cranberries has shown potential effect against Kaposi's sarcoma. In vivo, oleanolic acid triterpenoid, called CDDO-Me and CDDO-Imm inhibit angiogenesis in the Matrigel sponge assay and in KS-Imm (an immortalized Kaposi's sarcoma
cell line) tumour growth. In vitro they are able to prevent endothelial
cell tubulogenesis when cultured on Matrigel. In human umbilical vein
endothelial (HUVE) cells these compounds can inhibit the activation of
the extracellular signal-regulated kinase ERK1/2 pathway after
stimulation with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)(2).
3. Green tea
In the study to investigate the effects of green tea and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) tested in a highly vascular Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) tumor model and on endothelial cells in a panel of in vivo and in vitro assays, showed that EGCG inhibited KS-IMM cell growth and endothelial cell growth,
chemotaxis, and invasion over a range of doses; high concentrations also
induced tumor cell apoptosis. EGCG inhibited the
metalloprotease-mediated gelatinolytic activity produced by endothelial
cell supernatants and the formation of new capillary-like structures in
vitro. Green tea
or purified EGCG when administered to mice in the drinking water
inhibited angiogenesis in vivo in the Matrigel sponge model and
restrained KS tumor growth(3).
