Among people with AIDS, the risk of stomach and oesophageal malignancies is higher than among the general population. Dr Persson and colleagues used data from the HIV/AIDS Cancer Match Study, a linkage of 15 U.S. population-based HIV/AIDS and cancer registries with data from 1980 through 2007. Overall, people with AIDS had a 6.9-fold increased incidence of stomach malignancies and a 2.7 times increased risk of oesophageal malignancies compared to the general population.
