“…In contrast, a high percentage of our transplant recipients had visceral KS involvement (57%) with a severe disease, refractory to previous specific treatments in six cases. In the literature, the CnI/sirolimus switch was performed either immediately after KS diagnosis concomitantly to withdrawal of other immunosuppressive drugs (10,12,13), or, less frequently, after several months of tapering immunosuppressive therapy at the lowest level (9,11). In the present series, decrease of immunosuppressive therapy preceded from 1 to 124 months (mean 40.5 months) the CnI/sirolimus switch.…”

“…The seriousness of KS and this long delay could explain the partial effectiveness of sirolimus. The sole previously reported patient with visceral KS was switched immediately after KS diagnosis with regression of lung involvement (13). Concomitantly to sirolimus prescription, cyclosporine and azathioprine were stopped, so the effect of sirolimus was probably enhanced by other immunosuppressive drugs withdrawal.…”

“…Таким образом, ИПС способны не только предупреждать развитие опухо-лей, но и обладают потенциальными возможностями тормозить их рост и метастазирование [63,64], а при некоторых новообразованиях (в том числе при сарко-ме Капоши) вызывают их регрессирование [65][66][67]. Несмотря на эффективность ИПС в профилактике посттрансплантационных онкологических осложне-ний, опыт применения этих иммуносупрессантов для лечения de novo посттрансплантационных опухолей ограничен единичными случаями (от 1 до 15 случаев) с непродолжительными сроками наблюдения [27][28][29][30][31]68]. В подавляющем большинстве описанных случа-ев ИПС применялись для лечения саркомы Капоши.…”

“…С другой стороны, несмотря на убедительные доказательства эффективности ИПС в профилакти-ке новообразований, данные об их эффективности у пациентов с посттрансплантационными de novo неоплазиями немногочисленны и ограничены чис-лом и длительностью наблюдений [27][28][29][30][31]. Приме-нение ИПС в качестве противоопухолевых препара-тов после ТП ограничивается у ряда больных из-за значительного снижения функции почечного транс-плантата или вследствие выраженности протеин-урии [32].…”

“…Subsequent reports, in which conversion from different immunosuppressive agents to sirolimus was initiated in posttransplant KS patients, similarly showed KS remission with no increased risk of acute rejection. [47][48][49][50][51][52][53] It is reasonable to argue that the previously reported "pro-tumorigenic" effects of cyclosporine, combined with the more profound immunosuppressive effects of this agent compared to rapamycin, may have contributed to the regression of KS tumors once treatment with cyclosporine was stopped. However, emerging evidence suggests that the observed effect is due to the initiation of the rapamycin treatment.…”
