PROCAARE: Re: RFI--Topical and herbal Medicine in Kaposi's Sarcoma

[procaare@usa.healthnet.org]

Good morning to Zambia and Dr. Nkandu - Ligand Pharmaceuticals in USA has 
reported positive results in topical treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma using a drug 
called Panretin gel with 31% of patients` showing complete or partial 
disappearance of lesions compared with 17% on placebo.  It is probable about 3-6
mo away from FDA approval at which time I could provide for you - as you would 
probably guess the price will probably be restrictive as to the patients who 
could afford.
