Overview
AIDS is a major worldwide health care crisis. One of the most important aspects of the disease is the loss of protective immune function in the infected host which leads to increased prevalence of opportunistic infections and cancers. Of particular note are viral-associated cancers. Aids-Associated Viral Oncogenesis will specifically address viral-induced human cancers. Topics will cover the viral associated cancers observed in the AIDS population, specific treatment required in this special population, and 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)
