AB OBJECTIVE: During 1993 a collaborative study programme was set up to
evaluate HIV/AIDS related neoplasms in Genoa, Italy. Research was
carried out by the Regional Epidemiologic Observatory, the Ligurian
Tumour Registry, the Regional Mortality Registry and three Infectious
Diseases Departments. METHODS: In the first part of the study we
considered only AIDS cases notified in people living in Genoa and older
than 14 years of age. Only AIDS cases notified prior to December 31,
1991, or AIDS related death registered after January 1, 1988, were taken
into account. In this way it was possible to link data from the
different registers. RESULTS: In accordance with the inclusion criteria,
233 males and 84 females were enrolled in the study. Forty-two neoplasms
were registered in this cohort, with an AIDS-neoplasm association equal
to 13%. The relative risks, computed on the basis of incidence
registered in the Genoese population, showed a noteworthy increase of
neoplastic risk. DISCUSSION: This research shows an AIDS-neoplasm
association analogous to that already highlighted in literature. In
particular it was possible to show an increased risk of testicular
seminoma, lung cancer and uterine cervix carcinoma. It seems therefore
interesting to continue this study, taking into consideration also
anti-HIV subjects not yet notified as AIDS cases.
