ABSTRACT
The data of patients with HIV/AIDS from Hubei Province during 2004 to 2018 were obtained from the National AIDS Comprehensive Prevention and Control Information System. A total of 22 980 HIV-positive or AIDS patients were followed up for 113 164 person-years and 323 malignant tumors were diagnosed. Non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma (NHL), cervical cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and Kaposi sarcoma (KS) accounted for 70.0% (226/323) of all malignant tumors in this population. The average crude incidence and mortality of malignant tumors in HIV-infected patients were 285.43/100 000(269.11/100 000 in males and 325.87/100 000 in females), and 169.67/100 000(184.78/100 000 in males and 132.19/100 000 in females), respectively. The result indicates that the overall cancer incidence and mortality in HIV/AIDS population under widely implementation of combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) are similar to those in the general population of the region. But the incidence and mortality of AIDS-related tumors such as KS, NHL, HD and cervical cancer are higher than those in general population, and attention should be given to screening of these malignancies in HIV/AIDS population.
