Abstract | |||
Uganda AIDS Cancer Match. An AIDS Cancer Match Registry study, was implemented in 2005 in Kampala, Uganda. The study provided the first well-characterized data on cancer risk in a well-defined African HIV-infected population and showed that record-linkage methods can be used in resource-por settings, where HAART is still largely unavailable. The study showed significant association of HIV/AIDS with Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, cervical cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva in Africans with HIV/AIDS. The study found suggestive associations between HIV/AIDS and lung cancer and kidney cancer. No further activities are planned in other international populations. |
