CANCER INCIDENCE AMONG PERSONS ON MODERN SUPPRESSIVE ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY, 2000-12
 
 
  "The median age at cancer diagnosis (Q1, Q3) was 48 years (41, 55) among HIV-positive and 68 years (58, 77) among HIV-negative cases. Specific cancers diagnosed among people with HIV are shown in Figure 1. The five most common cancers were non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, lung, anal and liver cancers, which altogether accounted for 75% of the 195 cases. Combining all cancers across all years, there was 58% excess cancer among people with HIV (age-adjusted incidence rate ratio, aIRR = 2.4 [2.0, 2.9]). This was higher among males at 74% (aIRR = 3.9 [3.2, 4.7]) compared to 38% among females (aIRR=1.6 [0.26, 2.9])."
