Kaposi sarcoma is a rare, multicentric, angioproliferative cancer characterized by the formation of purple or blue-tinted skin lesions, often associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) and affecting immunocompromised individuals, particularly seen in people with HIV/AIDS.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation treatments for Kaposi sarcoma, ultimately increasing the patient’s chances of recovery.
