[Cancers associated with AIDS]
Abstract
The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) defining conditions were expanded to include three malignancies: epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma recognized in 1981, high and intermediate grade lymphoma included in 1985 and cervical carcinoma considered since January 1993. Progression in the management of these neoplasms depends on detailed knowledge of their pathogenesis and natural history. Treatment should take into consideration adverse factors such as the immunocompromised state and the clinical course of AIDS, particularly opportunistic infections.
