Pathologic aspects of AIDS malignancies

Oncogene volume 22, pages 6639–6645 (2003)Cite this article

Abstract

Since the emergence of the HIV pandemic, a close association between HIV infection and the development of a selected group of cancers has been acknowledged. The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy, however, has had a dramatic impact on the incidences of several AIDS-defining malignancies. This suggests the possibility of a direct and indirect role of HIV in HIV-related tumor genesis. The aim of this paper is to review the pathology of AIDS-related malignancies, taking into account the pathogenetic mechanisms and their potential for improving the treatment of these tumors.
