Abstract
The management of AIDS-related malignancies demands that the cancer mu st be treated in the context of patients already suffering from a fata l disease. Management must be problem-orientated. The standard cancer treatment of such a patient may not be appropriate in the AIDS setting . The AIDS related malignancies are Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and non-Hodg kin's lymphoma (NHL) incuding primary cerebral lymphoma. Carcinoma of the cervix was recently added to this list, but has not been seen in t his context in the UK.
