AIDS related cancer standardized incidence rates decreased significantly in the cART eras; however, Kaposi's sarcoma and invasive cervical carcinoma incidence remained significantly higher in the cohort when compare to the general population. On the contrary, non-AIDS related cancer standardized incidence rates increased significantly in the cART eras, specifically those of the oral/cavity/pharynx, liver, anus, vaginal, and Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas. Around 50% of the persons with cancers were reported dead within the first year of their diagnoses without a significant variation during the cART eras.Conclusion: The higher incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma, invasive cervical carcinoma and non-AIDS related malignancies and their high mortality in the cART eras is suggestive of the role of oncogenic viruses, environmental agents, risky lifestyle behaviors and inadequate cancer prevention efforts that contribute and accelerate the risk of malignant transformation in these subjects. Aggressive intervention in the form of vaccines, risky practice reduction, early screening, early treatment and adequate risk reduction education needs to be incremented in this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":101436,"journal":{"name":"International journal of cancer research","volume":"12 2","pages":"92-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5042344/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72212573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
