Chemokines and Kaposi's sarcoma.
Chemokines participate in many biological processes in homeostasis and disease. Recently, they have been implicated in cancer, more specifically in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Here we review evidence supporting a role for chemokines in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma and discuss a possible role for these molecules in angioproliferation and immune evasion.
