Abstract:
Antiretroviral therapy(ART)has been associated with reduced AIDS- and non-AIDS-related morbidity and mortality in people living with HIV/AIDS(PLWH). Nevertheless, the incidence of many comorbid conditions remains higher in PLWH than in the general population, including AIDS-defining malignancies(ADM)as well as several non-AIDS-defining malignancies (NADM). It's important to prevent ADM/NADM, like periodic health checkup for early diagnosis, to quit smoking, and cooperation with cancer and HIV specialists.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
