About statistics:
This page presents a variety of statistics about Kaposi's Sarcoma.
The term 'prevalence' of Kaposi's Sarcoma usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Kaposi's Sarcoma at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Kaposi's Sarcoma refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Kaposi's Sarcoma diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
