Cancers In Hiv/aids

When people with HIV develop certain cancers, healthcare providers consider their HIV infection to have progressed to AIDS. These cancers are called AIDS-related cancers or AIDS-related malignancies. People who have AIDS are much more likely to get certain types of cancer than people without the disease. They include Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and cervical cancer. People with HIV or AIDS are also more likely to develop some other cancers called non-AIDS-defining cancers (NADCs). These cancers are more likely to happen in people living with HIV infection, but they’re not a sign that the person has progressed to AIDS. Part of diagnosing cancer is called staging. Staging is the process of seeing if the cancer has spread, and where it has spread. Staging also helps to decide on the best treatment options. There are different staging systems used for different cancers, but most range from stage 1 to stage 4, where a stage 4 is cancer that has spread to parts of the body. Treatment depends on what type of AIDS-related cancer you have and how far it has spread in your body. You may need one or more of these treatments: Anti-HIV medicines. These can help control the HIV virus. They may help reduce the side effects (such as infection) from other treatments and improve your chance of recovery. Surgery. Removing the tumor may be an option for some cancers. Chemotherapy (chemo). These medicines can kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. Immunotherapy. This treatment helps the immune system focus on and kill cancer cells while causing little harm to healthy cells. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact factor plays a major role for the particular journal. Journal with higher impact factor is considered to be more important than other ones
