Opportunities to Understand Unique Cancer Risks in Global HIV-Infected Populations

In this issue, Coghill and colleagues (1) describe reduced incidence of three common screen-detectable cancers among people living with HIV relative to the general population of the United States. Findings from the population-based HIV/AIDS Cancer Match Study show a 37% reduced incidence of breast cancer, 52% reduced incidence of prostate cancer, and 31% to 49% reduced incidence of rectal cancer, proximal colon, and distal colon cancer, respectively, among people living with HIV.
