Features of Epidemiology and Morphological Characteristics of Oncological Diseases in Patients with HIV Infection in the Volgograd Region

In the structure of comorbidity in patients with HIV infection, neoplasms of various forms occupy a significant place. According to the classification of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1993 (CDC), all MN in HIV infection are classified into malignant neoplasms that determine the stage of AIDS, the so-called AIDS-associated tumors (AAT) and AIDS-non-associated tumors (NAAT). To characterize the epidemiological and clinical morphological structure of comorbidity in HIV infection in combination with oncological diseases in the Volgograd region. We studied extracts from outpatient records, patient medical histories, histological examination protocols. The largest proportion of oncological pathology in HIV-infected persons in the Volgograd region is malignant neoplasms, which were detected in 73.7 % of patients (109 cases). The average median age in HIV-infected patients with neoplasms was 41.1 years, with a predominance of 57 % women. The most common malignant tumor is cervical cancer 17.4 %, which belongs to AIDS-associated tumors. Breast cancer 13.2 %, colorectal cancer 9.2 %, lung cancer 9.2 % are the most common among AIDS-unassociated tumors. It is necessary to continue the epidemiological, clinical and morphological analysis of malignant neoplasms in HIV-infected patients, taking into account the stages of diseases, the results of treatment, and therapeutic pathomorphosis, which will allow for the implementation of a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment and diagnostics of comorbid pathology.
