Non–AIDS-Defining Cancers
Summary
- Current data suggest breast cancer incidence not increased in HIV infection[Althoff 2013], however HIV-infected women may present with advanced disease[Pantanowitz 2002; Gewurz 2005]
- Breast cancer in HIV infection appears to have propensity for becoming bilateral disease, poorly differentiated carcinomas (Figure 14), and early metastases
- HIV-infected patients with breast cancer and well-controlled HIV viremia should be treated similarly to HIV-negative patients
