SO Int J Radiat Biol. 1995 Oct;68(4):411-2. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/96071036 AB Fibroblasts cultured from skin biopsies of patients with AIDS and Kaposi's sarcoma were found to be more radiosensitive than fibroblasts from non-HIV-infected-sources. This supports clinical observations of overt sensitivity to radiotherapy in some AIDS patients with Kaposi's sarcoma.
