Trends in Kaposi's sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus antibodies prior to the development of HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma: a nested case-control study. [PDF]
HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa since both the causative agent, Kaposi's sarcoma associated-herpesvirus (KSHV), and the major risk factor, HIV, are prevalent. In a nested case-control study within a

Soft Tissue Sarcoma Burden and Research Productivity: Global Patterns and Disparities, 1990–2021
ABSTRACT Background Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a rare and diverse type of cancer, with a disproportionate incidence and limited global epidemiological studies. This study aims to analyze the long‐term trends and epidemiological features of the global burden of STS from 1990 to 2021 and to reveal the global research productivity on STS.
