Is there an effective treatment for multiple appearances of cutaneous Kaposi's lesions besides radiation?
In a patient who already received 13 courses of radiation (with complete response), is there any other effective treatment?

Unfortunately, there is no established effective treatment for multiple appearances of cutaneous Kaposi's lesions. Radiation therapy seems to work if the dose is adjusted well. Radiologists are very familiar with this. However, there are often out-of field recurrences which are difficult to treat.
