Abstract

The AIDS data from 1981 - 1996 identified (60+ years old) and their records were linked to data in local cancer registries, finding 1142 cases. The cancer risks profile of elderly persons with AIDS (EPWAs) generally resembled that in younger adults with AIDS, though RRs were lower due to higher background incidence rates.
