First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

The risk of neoplasis is increased in HIV-infected subjects. Beside traditional determinants of cancer occurrence, a specific role of HIV-related immunosuppression is strongly suspected and a more complex relationship between HIV and antiretroviral therapy (ART) cannot be excluded. Our objective was to disentangle the relationship between some frequently diagnosed cancers in HIV-infected patients and immunosuppression, HIV and ART exposure.
