HIV and cancer in Germany.

Results: 552 evaluable data sets were reported. 253 (45.8%) of the reported malig- nancies were AD. Among the 299 cases (54.2%) of NAD malignancies, there were 214 solid tumors, including 71 anal carcinomas (23.7% of all NAD malignancies), and 85 hematopoietic malignancies, including 29 cases of Hodgkins lymphoma (9.7% of all NAD malignancies). The high percentage of NAD malignancy remained constant throughout the entire period of the study. Only a single case of primary cerebral lymphoma was reported after 2001. The number of patients with Hodg- kins lymphoma rose steadily from 2000 to 2007. Conclusion: The spectrum of HIV-associated malignancies has changed since the early days of the HIV epidemic. In Germany, NAD malignancies have become more common than AD malignancies. In particular, anal carcinoma and Hodgkin's lym - phoma are much more common among persons with HIV than in the general popu- lation. Persons with HIV need more intensive preventive care for cancer than non- infected persons do.
