Ligand's second approved drug, after ONTAK, is likely to be Panretin(R) Gel as a treatment for Kaposi sarcoma; how big is this *first* market, how fast is it growing?

The following abstract ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

and a piece published in the May 1998 issue of "Skin & Allergy News," and available at the Medscape site, suggest that this condition is becoming increasingly rare. Not too surprising given what has happened with CMV retinitis over the last few years.

Still, if there is a dermatologist in the house, it would be interesting to see how widespread are the observations made in the above two references.
