Prevalence and predictors of solid or hematological malignancies in a monocentric cohort of HIV patients from central Italy

摘要

IntroductionHIV-infected patients have a higher risk of developing cancer than the general population. Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), primary CNS lymphoma (PCL) and invasive cervical cancers are considered AIDS-defining. An increased incidence in recent years, however, has been reported also for other malignancies after the introduction of HAART.
