What is the Prognosis for Patients with HHV-8 Related Cancers?
The prognosis for patients with HHV-8 related cancers varies widely based on the type of cancer, the patient's overall health, and the effectiveness of the treatment. For example, the prognosis for Kaposi's Sarcoma has significantly improved with the advent of effective antiretroviral therapy for HIV. However, Primary Effusion Lymphoma and Multicentric Castleman Disease often have a poorer prognosis due to their aggressive nature and the challenges in treatment.
