REVIEW
Cutaneous malignancies in HIV.
Current Opinion in HIV and AIDS 2017 January
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: As patients with HIV infection are living longer with their disease, we have seen the evolution of skin cancer in this population. Cancer registries have not documented the incidence and prevalence of these cancers but we do have relevant data from cohorts. This article attempts to bring to light the extent to which skin cancer is an issue in HIV disease both domestically and internationally.
RECENT FINDINGS: Squamous cell cancer is increasing in incidence in the United States and elsewhere. The anatomic locations of skin cancer vary according to demographics, host factors, and environment. In this review, squamous cell cancer will be contrasted to the other skin cancers namely, melanoma, and basal cell cancers.
SUMMARY: As our HIV population ages, clinicians should be informed as to the relevant risk factors for development of skin cancer. With the increasing incidence of these cancers in the modern era of HIV, clinicians and researchers will be informed with regard to prevention and treatment strategies.
