Cancer Prevalence and Outcomes in Individuals With HIV and AIDS: Multicenter BUHASDER Study

Brief summary (registry, in English)

AIDS-defining cancers reported a 70% drop in the 1990s following the advent of triple antiretroviral therapy in the USA. With increased survival, the proportion of non-AIDS-defining cancers increases with age, making cancer a leading cause of death among individuals with HIV infection in developed countries, with higher cancer-related mortality rates in this group. In Turkey, studies have reported HIV-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases, and a multicentre study documented 37 cancer cases from 1998 to 2016. This study aims to determine the prevalence of cancer in individuals with HIV and AIDS in Turkey over the past decade, examining the age-related distribution and risk factors for HIV-related and unrelated cancers. Additionally, the mortality rates and comorbidities affecting mortality will be assessed. The findings will be compared with the Turkish Statistical Institute's data on cancer prevalence, type, and mortality.
