A Study of Patients With AIDS Syndrome

Completed

Conditions studied: Sarcoma, Kaposi, Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, HIV Infections, Lymphoma, AIDS-Related

In brief

The purpose of this study is to find out why cancers develop in HIV-positive patients. Cancer is a leading cause of death in AIDS patients. Common cancers in HIV-infected patients include Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a cancer of the immune system. Risk factors include certain chemicals, viruses, and perhaps even anti-HIV drugs. Doctors would like to find out which risk factors are most important and how they relate to cancer in AIDS patients.
