HIV Infection, Immunodeficiency and Skin Cancer
The goald is to: 1. To compare the tumor subtype (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma) and location (sun exposed vs. non-sunexposed) between HIV-infected persons and HIV-uninfected persons with skin cancer. 2. To compare the risk of skin cancer between those with and without HIV infection. 3. To determine the association of immunodeficiency and skin cancer risk. 4. To compare the tumor invasiveness of cancers according to HIV infection status and level of immunodeficiency.
