title: AIDS and non-AIDS-related malignancies: a new vexing challenge in HIV-positive patients. Part II. Cervical and anal squamous epithelial lesions, lung cancer, testicular germ cell cancers, and skin cancers.
abstract: As the AIDS epidemic progresses, more and more HIV-infected patients will develop malignancies. The natural history of a malignancy may change dramatically in the presence of HIV infection. Among the AIDS and non-AIDS malignancies, the most frequently reported solid tumors are cervical and anal cancer, testicular germ cell tumors, lung cancer, and skin cancer. Regardless of epidemiology and outcome, the natural history of the majority of non-AIDS-defining tumors changes in the setting of HIV infection. Physicians who treat patients with AIDS and non-AIDS-related cancers need to become familiar with antiretroviral agents, drug-drug interactions, and the prophylaxis and management of opportunistic infections.
