Kaposi sarkomu, yatkınlık / Kaposi sarcoma, susceptibility to
Kaposi sarcoma is a type of cancer associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) infection, originating from blood vessels and endotel cells of the lymphatic system. The condition of yachting refers to that individuals are more susceptible to this disease due to genetic or immunological factors. Especially in people whose immune system is suppressed (for example HIV/AIDS patients, organ transplant receivers) are more often observed and manifests itself with lesions in the skin, mucous membranes or internal organs. Genetic predisposition is associated with certain gene variants that increase the risk of developing disease for individuals infected with HHV-8.
Disease Definition
🔬 Disease Definition
Kaposi sarkomu, insan herpes virüsü 8 (HHV-8) enfeksiyonu ile ilişkili, kan damarlarının ve lenfatik endotel hücrelerinin anormal proliferasyonu ile karakterize bir kanser türüdür. 'Kaposi sarcoma, susceptibility to' terimi, genetik yatkınlık nedeniyle bu hastalığa duyarlılığı ifade eder.
🧬 Causes & Risk Factors
HHV-8 enfeksiyonu esastır; genetik faktörler (örneğin, IRF4 gen varyantları) ve immün yetmezlik (HIV/AIDS, organ nakli sonrası immünsüpresyon) duyarlılığı artırır.
🩺 Symptoms & Signs
Deride, mukoz membranlarda veya iç organlarda kırmızı, mor veya kahverengi lezyonlar (makül, plak, nodül); lezyonlar ağrısız olabilir; ödem, lenfödem, gastrointestinal veya solunum sistemi tutulumu.
📋 Diagnostic Methods
Klinik muayene, biyopsi (histopatolojik inceleme), HHV-8 DNA tespiti (PCR), immünohistokimya (LNA-1 antijeni), görüntüleme (iç organ tutulumu için).
💊 Treatment Options
Antiretroviral tedavi (HIV ilişkili ise), lokal tedaviler (kriyoterapi, lazer, cerrahi eksizyon), sistemik tedaviler (kemoterapi: lipozomal doksorubisin, paklitaksel; immünomodülatörler: interferon-alfa; hedefe yönelik tedaviler: mTOR inhibitörleri).
⚠️ Complications
İç organ tutulumu (akciğer, gastrointestinal sistem) sonucu solunum yetmezliği, kanama, perforasyon; lenfödem; sekonder enfeksiyonlar; tedaviye bağlı yan etkiler.
