401 Clinical Care Strategies for Patients with HIV-Related Cancers*
Description

HIV patients are at higher risk of certain cancers; HIV infection alters the screening, staging, and surveillance of the cancer patient. Once cancer is detected, staging imaging studies can produce false-positive PETs. The patient's ART therapy may need modification due to interaction with chemotherapy agents. Once treated, surveillance may require specialized imaging. Treating such patients requires close collaborations between HIV specialists and medical oncologists.
