cancer caused by HHV-8, often in immunocompromised individuals

Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) is a type of cancer that forms in the lining of blood and lymph vessels, often appearing as tumors on the skin, but it can also affect internal organs. It is commonly associated with weakened immune systems, such as in individuals with HIV/AIDS, and is caused by infection with the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8).
