title: Non-Human Cancers in AIDS Patients.
abstract: Neoplasms are more frequent in HIV-positive persons than in non-infected individuals. The incidence of malignancies associated to oncoviruses increases with low CD4 counts in HIV carriers. This is the case for Kaposi sarcoma, Castleman disease or effusive cavity lymphomas due to HHV-8, anorectal or cervical cancer due to human papillomavirus, and Burkitt lymphoma or large B-cell lymphoma due to Epstein-Barr virus.
