- Title
Malignancy-Related Deaths among HIV-Infected Patients.
- Authors
Monforte, Antonella d'Arminio
- Abstract
The author reflects on the proportion of AIDS-related deaths among HIV-infected patients. She mentions that lung cancer represented the first common cause of death among non-AIDS-related, non-liver-related cancers in both 2000 and 2005. She concludes that severe immunodepression is a strong independent risk factor of death for AIDS-defining and non-AIDS-defining malignancies.
