• Highlights • We analysed cancer registry data on Kaposi sarcoma (KS) from 21 European countries. • We used age at diagnosis to distinguish AIDS-related (<65y) and classic (>65y) KS. • Incidence patterns suggest Kaposi sarcoma subtypes and causes vary across Europe. • In 1993-2002, 5-year relative survival for age <65y (AIDS-related) rose from 20–70%. • For age >65y (classic KS), survival was 65–75% throughout the study period.
