title: [Head and neck cancers in HIV patients].
abstract: Among HIV-infected patients, head and neck cancer incidence has increased over the last few years. Head and neck cancer treatment in HIV-infected patients does not differ from the general population but those patients are exposed more frequently to radiation severe toxic effects and need close monitoring during chemoradiotherapy treatment. Close cooperation between oncologist and infectiologist is crucial to eventually adjust antiretroviral therapy. Like general population, HIV-infected patients should be advised to avoid excessive alcohol consumption and tobacco smoking.
