title: Hepatocellular cancer in HIV-infected individuals: tomorrow's problem?
abstract: A number of cancers occur with increased frequency in individuals with HIV infection. There is a debate as to whether or not hepatocellular cancer is one of these tumors. This article reviews the current data regarding incidence etiology, treatment and outcome for HIV-related hepatocellular cancer. It also attempts to predict future areas of importance in the management of these patients in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy.
