Most of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) malignancies are affected to lymphoid tissue.
However, for AIDS patients, the risk of solid tumor can possibly occur.
A new study found that AIDS patients also at risk of stomach and esophageal cancer.
This findings appeared after the researchers studied HIV/AIDS Cancer Match Study, which is a linkage of 15 American population-based HIV/AIDS and cancer registries.
Although this findings not absolutely recommended to the clinicians to establish routine screening for this cancer risk, however, they should know that esophageal and stomach cancer are possible occur in survival AIDS patients and monitoring for other symptoms among survival AIDS patients is needed.
At least, in this findings, 70% of AID patients are facing the risk of stomach carcinomas, 2.7 times higher of esophageal malignancies risk, and 36-fold higher for stomach lymphomas, when compared with general population.
The findings just presented at the 102nd Annual Meeting’s American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 102nd Annual Meeting held on April 4, 2011.
