Overview

One of the most important aspects of AIDS is the loss of protective immune function in the infected host which leads to increased prevalence of opportunistic infections and cancers. This book specifically addresses viral-induced human cancers associated with AIDS and observed in the AIDS population. It addresses the specific treatment required in this special population and the molecular biology of the causative viral agents.

Reviews

From the reviews: Almost a quarter of a century has passed since the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was identified. ! The availability of a summary of this research and its clinical applications in a slim and eminently readable volume is therefore welcome, particularly as it relates to Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma, squamouscell neoplasia, and genital dysplasia. ! I found myself turning the pages with increasing excitement as the story of viruses and cancer unfolded. (Jonathan Said, New England Journal of Medicine, January, 2008)
