Abstract
HIV infection refers to socially significant diseases. As a result of the wide coverage of effective antiretroviral therapy for people living with HIV, the rates of AIDS-related mortality have significantly decreased. At the same time, there was a noticeable increase in morbidity and mortality from other non-AIDS-related diseases, not the last place in this list is occupied by malignant neoplasms. A decrease in the frequency of AIDS-associated tumors and an increase in the proportion of AIDS-unassociated tumors are significant changes in the structure of malignant neoplasms. There is a complex relationship between HIV-induced immune suppression, chronic antigenic stimulation and concomitant oncogenic viral infections, which increases the risk of developing malignant tumors in these patients. People living with HIV have higher rates of cancer mortality associated with both the lack of adequate antitumor therapy, complications of treatment, and the existence of a direct relationship between immunosuppression and tumor progression. This article analyzes the problems that arise in the treatment of oncological HIV-infected patients, and offers specific practical steps to solve complex interdisciplinary problems.
